I know Apple is ALSO a hardware company, I couldn't care less as a consumer. If I can run Windows on a emulator on OSX then I don't see why the OSX can't be run on a Windows system. Why? Because Apple would make a lot of money!

The whole support issue is a moot point - just licence it as is, the hakintosh community have been doing very well without official Apple support. I for one would be prepared to pay for a legit copy of OSX with limited support from Apple and find my own solutions through other channels when required. I just want to use OSX for a few things in my life without either having to pay a king's ransom for the hardware (and software) or having to completely hack my PC to bits (illegally according to Apple's small print).

That's not unreasonable is it?]]>Nov 14th 2009 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/Nov 14th 2009 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/Nov 14th 2009 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/
I'm sure a lot of people would love to be able to run OSX in a window on W7. The only reason I would appreciate this is to run Final Cut Pro, but i'm so heavily up to the eye balls in PC h/w that it's not gonna happen any time soon.

All that talk like "consumer's need"/"environment friendly" many corporates say is bullshit....they wouldn't do anything if they do not have some kinda gain from it.
Behind every step a business organization takes, there is a selfish reason(can be profits, brand reputation, what not)...what else do you expect ?

it's not YOU to order how others people decide for their own property.

Apple doesn't care about marketshare in operating system, there are NO MONEY THERE.

Microsoft is only succeeding because it's a software company with an incredible luck when IBM created the pc.

Apple is an HARDWARE enterprise. they sell hardware, they live hardware, they breath hardware, they roll in hardware. they smoke hardware. HARDWARE.

Their whole business is HARDWARE

and the software is a mean to improve their HARDWARE. Their hard work in the software is to improve their HARD WORKD in the HARDWARE.

you can read all the numbers about apple business it's all about : hardware

and a tiny portion about software, all tiny. very tiny.


they don't want marketshare, they want profit to continue to do as they always did : creating great computers.


-
there are NO market for os x on pc. NONE.

you are a geek, a hacker, a unbelievable technical person, it's GOOD for you, but you are NOT a market.

you are NOT the mass wanting another os.

the mass want a COmputer WORKING just fine.

They do not want to buy box with linux or os X. They can admit a "update" kit, nothing more.

and they are RIGHT. Operating system is complicate stuff inside my computer I shouldn't care : I just want a great computer.

OS is a PART of a great computer, an important part, maybe the most important part, Apple knows it, you know it , I know it.

Because we ALL know it, you know apple HAS to maintain an absolute control on it.

-

Microsoft is not simply selling windows. Microsoft is a part of the stuff used by cheap company to make cheap computers.

Apple is NOT a software provider for others companies

You don't WANT them to be that !

you love apple mac os x because it's NOT what windows is : a common operating system for the industry.


-
apple can make os x thanks to Mac, apple can make Mac thanks to os x.

it's sad
but true

years after years you can read the business numbers; they are HARD, Horrible and painfully TRUE.

-
In reality, you don't want to force apple. you just want apple to be apple, and quietly, as you love, hacking your computer with software you like.

do not ask more, because people can't give you more, they would love but they can't.

Go to see Linux. it's HARD work made with all love and passion people can bring.

It's the same with Microsoft and Apple, they are what they need to be. it's not evil from hell.


-
Microsoft and Apple are NOT the same kind of company. Not at all

one is software based
one is hardware based

All is simple.]]>Nov 14th 2009 7:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/Nov 14th 2009 7:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/Nov 14th 2009 7:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/Nov 14th 2009 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/Nov 14th 2009 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/
If only that was the only cost and if only it could run natively on my PC. That, unfortunately would be the tip of the iceberg as I would then need to drop at least another $4K to get an Apple system that would come close to performing as quickly as the PC system I just built - which cost's less than half the price to build than the Mac. (Whilst I appreciate the benefits of Apple products, I very much prefer PC's to Macs. I'm not a fan of locked down systems / software and I don't mind it when things break all the time!)

It's all very well saying buy a Mac...but not at their costs / performance ratio, it doesn't make sense to me. I don't care about pretty hardware and I don't hang out in Starbucks. I'm not bothered with OSX on the whole (it's a great OS) but i'm very happy to use any OS - OSX, W7, or Linux for my everyday computing, with a preference for W7...but for all things video I have to say I prefer FCP over Adobe products. I just don't fancy laying another 5K on the table to do so. ]]>Nov 14th 2009 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/14/apple-wins-copyright-infringement-case-against-psystar-in-califo/

1) The computer world does not revolve around how Microsoft's business model: OS on any PC.
2) Apple has its own business model: highly integrated hardware and software (like the Wii or PS3)
3) Apple is extremely profitable as is and will soon make more money than Microsoft.
