Sorry Simon get a whiff of what yer shovelin' If you think some PC components sold at a higher price with little or no difference in quality made in the same factories as the PC parts you sniff at running an OS derived from someone elses work is a complete solution god bless you. and hold tight on your wallet. Those here who keep wanting to run down those with lesser financial means seem to take great pleasure in their snobbish stance. > > All these people wanting a cheaper machine running an Apple OS don't get it. > The Mac is a complete solution and 'it just works' because it isnt a box of > hardware thrown together. > > I remember the clone days and the massive product range. > > OSX has doubled Apples market share, but ask yourself are they trying to > knock out Microsoft, do they want the market penetration MS have or do they > just want to increase it slightly and continue to develop top notch machines > and a killer OS? > > If Apple ever release OSX for the standard PC or a variant it will be a > disaster, annoy so many diehard Mac users, and put them as a direct > competitor to Microsoft. > > At present they are mainly a hardware company with a complete software > package. > The software package is not complete until it can stand up on the shelf and be judged by the marketplace independently of the HW dongle some of you seem to accept as the high price of admission.
