Which is the whole point of their marketing exercise. In other words, Apple are trying to stop people from using their stuff. No seriously, that's why they overprice. It's the same concept with expensive clothing - high prices = less people use it = more exclusivity, and the general public thinks it's better. You pay for the brand. Apple cannot compete against Windows by volume, so why should it?

You are right Zinga just the lack of any cheap entry solution saddens me...
And now even my backup plan seems to fail. I wanted to build a 150€ cheap mATX PC dedicated for OSX86, just I can't find any mATX mobos without integrated graphics. I'm aware that you can disable these but are they really completely inaccessible then? Because if OSX86 sees something it doesn't like in any way it
can cause a major chaos...

EDIT: The cheapest mATX system I can build is 228€, worth a consideration^^

No I won't, that's the point. I have a rare disease, my body requires a huge amount of digital eyecandy to exist, Windows and Linux were able to slow the illness down from killing me but the only cure is a perfect OSX.

So if you truely love me and want to keep me, send me your sisters Macbook!

Eh, being a macbook owner and user of osx for two years now lead me to come to one conclusion. While OSX does have it's good points (expose, application launching, etc) i really don't think it is more appealing than windows 7 is. Maybe it's a matter of preference, because when i look at windows i have all my stuff in one transparent taskbar; since I'm a guy who just diggs glass/simplicity i just love windows 7 and it's appearance.

Seriously, OS X has NO personality at all, you can only choose from two themes that only change the color of your _buttons_. Seriously, and i just can't say it's the sexiest of OS's; if i were to make an analogy: Windows 7 is bursting with color and flavor but when i use OS X i get the feeling of a more drab and techy sort of color, something that makes me feel like a common sheep out of many.

Oh and believe me, I've customized my OSX; geek tool, widgets, icon changes and dock modding, i still felt like i couldn't really make the OS appeal to my simplistic liking. In the end, OS X is a nifty little OS that really incorporates a nice blend of multi-touch and productivity; but when push comes to shove the OS will fail you when you want to do something that is outside of what apple expects you to do; music, pictures, and internet. OS X just doesn't have all the goodies that take control of the power and technology behind your hardware, the operating system behaves exactly like it's userbase; it has no idea double you tee eff technology is and wants to just have a type of "digital lifestyle," as if it's the next cool thing.

Windows 7 is always incorporating interesting improvements and a wide userbase of apps; and i have to admit, somethings blow me away.

For example, hardware accelerated video decoding, touch screen implementation, direct x, and lots more.

That's why OS X sucks, you just literally need to adhere to what apple gives you, no upgrades, no technologies, just a fail lifestyle that only hipsters adore.
