Why use the f'n stickers in the first place? I hate that I have them to remove!
Sean Rector, MCSE From: Sam Cayze [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 12:53 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: OT - Anyone VM a Mac Leopard OS on a PC? <rant> I hate it when I spend $2000 on a Dell laptop, and they can't even get the damn stickers on straight. If you can't get stickers on straight, how can I be assured you installed the motherboard correctly???). This has happened on every Dell system that I have ordered since 2004... I know, I remove the stickers anyway, but that's not the point! Apple sure wouldn't allow this! </rant> ________________________________ From: Jonathan Link [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 11:23 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: OT - Anyone VM a Mac Leopard OS on a PC? It's not whitebox, it's branded, that brand is Apple. When I purched my MBPro, I spec'ed similary equipped notebooks from HP, Dell and Lenovo. Apple was more expensive than some, less than others, and I had the option of running a true UNIX as was mentioned earlier. Apple is a Tier 1 manufacturer just as HP, Dell and Lenovo are.
