Nothing to be sorry about, but comparing Windows to Apple is in fact comparing two different creatures. Windows has thousands of hackers, all trying to break and corrupt Windows anyway they can. Not to mention all of the detractors and critics that scrutinize every move Microsoft makes, not just here, but in Europe, Asia and South America.

Considering that you can only run OSX on Mac computers, Apple can have a lenient license policy. There’s no garage workshops turning out generic Mac’s with off the shelf parts and making pirated copies of OSX to sell with them. That would change if Apple decides to sell OSX as a stand alone OS that can be installed onto any PC. Of course that would open Apple to all the crap that Microsoft and Windows has to put up with.

I like windows and PC’s because I can tinker and tweak the system, I just installed a Lightscribe DVD burner in my system, I don’t think you can change the Superdrive in the iMac, or go to New Egg and get the latest video card.

I’m not an Apple or Mac hater. I have an iPod Nano and use ITunes nearly everyday and I have recommend to my father that his next computer be a Mac, especially considering Windows software can run inside OSX. I would buy a Mac desktop if their machines suited my purpose and were easier to upgrade. I am considering a Mac laptop in the future, but my good old Compaq is working just fine for me now.
