Well, this is only true if you're comparing high end PC's to Apple. You can definitely get low end PC's made with less expensive components. On the flip side, you can also get high end PC's with most of the same components used in your Apple products. BTW, why is this debate being held on an iPhone mailing list?

Hi Sieghard,

I have to take exception with your statement that people buy the MAC
because it's better hardware.

Don't know whether you're serious when you make that statement or not,
but Apple computers don't use hardware any different from a standard IBM
compatible/Dell/HP computer.

In other words, the hardware is exactly the same.

it would only take a user to partition his or her drive into two
partitions, format one partition for Windows, and the other for Mac.

Once done, you can install what ever OS you want on each partition.

Once installed, you can run the Windows OS, with a OS10 virtual machine,
or run and OS10 computer, with a Windows virtual machine.

From what I hear, the former is easier because Windows doesn't make you
jump through any hoops with Virtual machine set up, meaning no extra
software needed, though I really can't speak to that experience, whereas
MAC's have to install separate software and set it all up, but again, I
really can't speak to that.

Regardless, if you open up a MAC you'll notice nothing different from a
Windows computer.

Fact is, it's all in the software, which I have to admit, is slightly
better than Windows software, and I've heard that MAC's have excellent
graphics, but Windows isn't as limiting as MAC OS, otherwise, why
require a Jailbreak in order to do any serious work with it, but I'm
reaching into the land of conjecture now, so I'll quit.

Either way, statements such as yours are purely baseless.

Victor

OK, so I didn't know this, apparently it can be done, but it seems to
require jumping through more hoops than one would have to when
installing Windows on a Mac. Also, the article you provided a link for
mentions this:

Before we start, we should tell you that Apple’s licence for OS X
expressly forbids it being installed on anything other than a Mac, so if
you choose to do it, don’t say we didn’t warn you.

I was always under the impression people want a Mac because it's
considered to be better hardware and of course also because of the OS.
Therefore I think if one wants a Mac then why not buy one instead of
trying to recreate an experience which in all likelihood won't be as good.

Regards,
Sieghard

Hello,
Well, it can be, but, as I don't think I have a  different hard drive,
unless a 64 GB SD CARD WOULD DO IT,, AND AS I have a 32 bit device, it
wouldn't be ever so successful.

While you can install Windows on a Mac, I don't think you can install
the Mac OS on Windows. As for how, refer to some Apple support
articles, AppleVis, or Google.
