I just saw the word "Springboard Series" and I was wondering WHY it was being used.
Maybe it is the name of the series of articles the author made, in that context, i'll drop any objections. But in reference to M$ OSes, the use is confusing, because of it's a specific and significant part of iOS and Only iOS. In Windows, it is called Explorer, it's called something else in other OS's
I just don't like the use of coined phrases- It confuses the reader (me, in this case). But in any case, it's the use of Apple Specific Phrases to describe something wholly unrelated. Any other casual reader, after glancing at the title, may initially think the same thing I thought.
I just want to add, I am the LAST person to go on a Pogrom regarding "Apple Design and Name theft" - It was just this use of the word Springboard, used in a article regarding an OS. Otherwise, I can care less if Android or other Phones steal every aspect of Apple design and functionality, it is just a compliment to Apple if it is true anyway. And, I love it when Apple loses some big Court Case regarding "Design Theft" - They simply cannot copyright or Trademark everything in the world which they seem to want to do sometimes.
