Okey dokey :o)  I'll respect your opinion. However, consider this:

If Apple were a software company MacOS would be made available for the PC
like Linux or BeOS since that is the greatest hardware base. Instead, if you
want MacOS, you MUST buy a Mac (excepting of course the experiment when
Apple was in financial trouble and allowed Power Computing etc distribute
MacOS).

IMHO, Apple is a hardware company that makes software to sell its hardware.
