[QUOTE="zeta101, post: 212436, member: 11173"] wow I won an award! :) lol Seriously though, it clearly isn't that obvious otherwise the original poster wouldn't have asked. As for considering Dvorak main stream, maybe a poor choice of words, but isn't pcmag.com where he writes quite a big site (It's not like someone writing an article on their blogger.com account) that's what I meant. Anyway, about apple being hypocrytical for having windows run on macs but not letting OS X to be used on generic PCs, I don't really agree because you have to realise that OS X is designed around the fact that it runs on a limited scope of hardware configurations (which apple have full control of). Apple don't want to liscence OS X for pc manufacturers to use because it would destroy this and either OS X would start showing up a lot more bugs or apple would have to go to a huge cost to make OS X able to handle very different hardware configs (especially where people would be building their own pcs). Windows on the other hand has always had to deal with this variety of configurations. This means that you can't really compare apple letting windows run on a mac and apple letting OS X run on generic pcs, so it isn't hypocrasy. Apple are doing good by keeping control of OS X, sure all the hard core geeks might complain but when you start having average joe users picking up a generic PC (with cheap components) with OS X and find that they have problems then they will blame apple.
