Member since:
Im a Apple Mac Mini owner. Ive used OS X since Jaguar (couple of years ago). I recently switched totally and sold my quite respectable PC AMD Athlon 3200+ Nvidia 6800, 1gb Ram, quite a nice kick for my gaming.
The major diff ive learned about the Apple Community as opposed to the PC one is Trust. Apple dont include protection in their software, you dont need the CD's inserted to play games.
Apple make most of thier money on hardware, the reason they WILL (remember this is some half-assed developer build) they WILL lock x86 OS X to their hardware is because thats where the revenue lies for them.
From a morale stance, i couldnt give a dam, i will download this X86 build, dig out my older pc and install it.
If i was not a mac-owner, id do the same.
There are too many "do-gooders", the average person on here is a working induvidual, making ends meet, working a hardjob.
Apple are a multi billion dollar company, why should You care if they would lose money? its not YOUR company.
its a fast world. Think of yourself, not some massive corporation that couldnt give a dam about you.
