I like Apple products for their hardware build [and looks]. The
first time I saw an iMac at PC World, it was so stunning, I took a
photograph of it to show my then g/f who is a graphics designer. Then
one of my post clients bought a lorry load of Mac Pros for their render
farm. Beautiful machines.
I agree about building an O/S to suit the hardware (mentioned elsewhere
in this thread). The Wang [proprietary] systems I worked on in the 80s
were strong because Wang designed the h/w and s/w together. Pity Wang
didn't have a useful *nix core in those days. Too little too late:

I kind of have to agree with that. At least offer a VHD or VM Appliance

Thanks to everyone who replied. Not being a Mac user at all I am a bit
blown away that you can't have a legal copy of their OS running on
hardware that is not Apple. I see the point but it still makes more
sense to me to let people buy your OS and run it on different hardware.
More exposure in my mind.

Never said that, I said that if your computer literate you could
see that you were being overcharged for an Intel whitebox and a free OS
that was being sold for cash.
