They do it because mac users are usually retarded dumbasses that know little to nothing about computers or how business infrastructure works to collaborate everything behind the scenes.

The typical mac user like to pretend he/she is tech savvy but they usually wind up talking out their asses and it makes for some good comedy when listened to back at the office ( sitting in the IT department)

@Denusch But nobody (who is not a lunatic) would ever use it to play games, certainly not 3D games.

@labratbum ; missed the point ? The idea of the cloud is to store information externally, like new projects taking place named OnLive to use grid computing to dedicate externally processed games via the internet, take a looks its very promising if it can beat latency problems, giving they are determined to create the technologies needed : watch?v=OGdecNDDr9g

@Denusch You have missed the point of cloud computing.

And many companies DO send the OS along with the PC - its their base IMAGE that is meant for that PC with their key already set so not authentication by MS needed.

Windows also sells unlocked versions of their OS. But you can put this on ANY PC - including a MAC natively. This is the innovation and collaboration of MICROSOFT AND HARDWARE VENDORS and NOT APPLE!

In fact apple ilegally locks their OSX to an EFI chip on their board. Because it breaks the copyright misuse doctrine.

Actually most of the "hardware" under the hood of a Mac is 3rd party/PC vendors. They have made only slight modifications , no of which are performance enhancing and most of which are simply to help fit their shells/cases/deisgn. And I admit its pretty.

However its is NOT more collaborative and they as you can tell most 3rd party addons are for Windows.

Multitouch is a COPYMARK not a patent as they didnt pioneer the work on it.

And Magsage - again design nothing to do with computers

@jabberwolf ...Hardware

Yes I agree that looking at specifications alone, you would clearly end up buying a PC as it appears you get more for your money.

It is difficult to explain this to someone who has not owned a mac so please excuse me for any misleading comments. On a mac you get the OS included on a disc with the computer, which allows you to maintain it yourself. The OS is built for the hardware, meaning it can be more efficient than any PC of the same specs. I've run out of characters.

@jabberwolf I am glad that you clarified your position.

I do feel that I should make the following point though: as a platform the mac is actually more collaborative than Windows, it's just that more people use Windows, you don't find an 'export as Pages document' button on Word, but you do find 'Export as Word document' on pages.

Not sure about the last to implement thing also, they have pioneered a lot of ideas, such as multitouch and magsafe.

Hardware... to be continued

A MACTARD is someone who beleives otherwise- without reason, without logic against facts.

If you use the platform and hardware because you are accustomed to it and do well with it - so be it. YOU are not a mactard.
