Hardware, Embedded Systems I have been an omni-platform user, Windows, OS X and Linux user for some time now. I love different things about each platform and loathe just as much as I like about all three. The release of the Mac Mini at MacWorld really made me wonder if Apple made good move in jumping into the low range market. I decided the best way to see was to compare the Mini to my primary box, a similar system in specifications and price.

the only place that the software has a monetary value is when it is sold separate to legacy hardware owners. the profits from the hardware sales are just that.. hardware profits... those profits do depend on the quality of the software, but the software is only subsidized by the hardware.

BTW.. on a Dell you get a whole lot of crap as well added on.
