I really meant to say -— The precious little snots at Apple
And you know darn well why they are too chicken shit to allow anyone to buy their OS and put it on equipment they want
What has Apple ever done to you to earn such vile hatred? Did Steve jobs pee in your porridge? I am truly curious.
So that they could end up with the computing wonderland that is Microsoft?
Dude, that's funny!
Well, yeah, apple doesn’t want to spend all it’s time and energy making sure OSX works with hardware configurations that changes at the drop of a hat. Apple feels the only way they can provide an excellent operating system is to have complete control over the the core hardware system.
Every Operating System has it’s limits, from mainframes to palms. XP runs on everything and is easy to use but it’s bloated, insecure and unstable. Linux runs on everything but it has an horrible UI and not that easy to set up. OSX is secure, stable, easy, beautiful UI but you can only run it on Mac Hardware.
The question is what trade offs do you want to make.
