[QUOTE="terrible1one3, post: 738364, member: 69637"] It's not that I hated mac. I just disagreed with their business practices. Though those same business practices have made a pretty stable system and made the company a good amount of money. I didn't like them. Analyzing it a little deeper makes me see that it really is kinda more like Chevy making a design, having other people make it and have it only work for their design. OSX being the design, and the manufacturers being themselves. You can take a chevy motor and throw it in a ford, but it takes a lot of modifications and duct tape. It's just the computer industry is so young that it hasn't come to that point for the few OS makers. Yeah there is a handful of computer that come with linux, all can have it installed on it, there are a few mac's that can run all, and there are a bazillion PC's that can run linux but not mac, and probably rightfully so. It's a lot easier and more stable to make everything specifically for OSX than it is to make OSX work with everything. May seem obvious but that hasn't been the standard in the computer industry.
