No one is mentioning this but, I can make it much simpler for you all. MACS are better. One reason? The new platform runs OSX AND WinXP. PCs can't do
that yet right? If you need dual platform for work and/or you may want
software that one or the other does not run. MACS are the only answer.

And why is that? If, as it appears from what Darcy is saying, the new Mac Pros are the same machines which can run Windows except that they come with Mac OSx instead, why can't I simply buy OSx and install it on my windows machine as a dual-boot system? Why do I have to buy a Mac?

Because it would not be profitable for Apple to allow OS X to be installed on non-Apple hardware. It may be good for you, but it would be terrible for Apple's bottom line.


You mean that a company can't make a fortune (the world's richest man, as far as I can recall, made his fortune by selling an OS which wasn't tethered to a specific make of computer) by simply selling an OS? You can't really be telling me that Apple is a bigger financial giant than Microsoft, can you?

How would it be terrible for Apple's bottom line?
