Now that mac is using intel, they should really sell their OS seperately. If it is truly the holy grail of OS's (no one has been able to explain to me why that is) then why are they bundling the software with over priced hardware. If MAC's are for the 1337 like people say. . .why cant I go to newegg.com and pick out the parts tho assemble my own mac? Why can't I dual boot OSx / XP on a non-mac native machine? Why do I have to pay $1000+ to use their OS?
If I had a superior operating system, I would try to get as many computer users to use it. (By allowing manufacturers to create clones, selling the OS seperately, taking a loss on my bundled systems)
IMO, I think macs are aimed at the computer illiterate. A good percentage of people that use them (non-graphic designers) buy it because they like the case.
Oh and another gripe . . it took mac 10 years to realize that 1 mouse button isn't going to cut it. I know you could use other mice, but come fucking on. .
