What I don't understand is why it seems that no one on this list would like to see that happen? I understand everyone's reasoning behind why it shouldn't happen.
That is a contradiction.
i look at it this way. My dad who loves music would benefit because he wouldn't have to spend a load on an Apple machine because he could use a PC (much cheaper) with a good OS that isn't giving him the fear of loosing all his data at ay minute because of a virus or instability. (The loss of all data more likely resulting in a HD failure, but its just an example) Or some kid wants to edit movies or something but can't afford a nice new $2k G5.
Not accurate, Apple could not provide as good of an experience if they didn't provide both hardware and software.
So I am looking at the "consumer's" benefit not Apple's. Because without the consumer they aren't much of a company. Maybe I'm being to simple. Maybe I should shut-up so we can end the thread? Fun conversation though.
How does the customer benefit? Many people have said what you are saying "I want the Mac experience on a PC" but the thing is ... you can't get it, if you are on a PC then you will not have the experience you have with a Mac. Macintosh is not only a software platform.
