Make a cell phone that cannot ever be dropped. Forget about copy and paste. Forget about flash and media text messaging. Tell everyone to buy my hardware because you are different and make sure that every one of my customers have the EXACT same laptop. What do you think?

Also, what do you mean, "take something that is absolutely free"?  If you released a computer that ran just FreeBSD, or Linux, without spending the money to develop a GUI, you'd definitely fail.  OSX adds value to the "free" stuff on which it's based, by offering a very good GUI (and of course the rock solid stability of a unix-like substrate).  You might not like it, you might be bitter and unhappy about that OSX GUI, but a lot of people will appreciate it and would buy it - e.g., apple computers.  So, when you talk about just taking "something that is absolutely free" and throwing it on a computer, realize that you'd not have OSX in that case.  You'd have a command-line driven system that for the masses is not at all easy to use.  You'd have the equivalent ease of use of MS-Dos, linux, unix, or freebsd.  All of which are command line driven and require additional "point and click" GUIs to run on top of them before they are appealing on a mass scale.<br><br>I'm no fanboy - I have both, and I appreciate both.  OSX and Apple do charge premiums, but they're just so damned fun . . . . <br><br>Don't be a hater . . . . but please be a Good Speller.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[IsEveryoneOK]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 17th 2009 2:22PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
