Apple pretty much has complete control over the hardware found inside their computers. This makes them more stable than PCs, but PCs are far more customizable. You don't see too many people building their own custom Apple computers.

The thing I would like some Mac fan to explain would be that if Apple had such a superior OS, why are only a tiny percentage (I think around 5%) of computer users use it? And don't say because Microsoft's monopoly BS. A better product will win out. Apple has lost!

And as for the person claiming to have OSX for x86, can you offer any proof? Apple has stated they will not be making an x86 distro. Would be nice to not have to buy their hardware.

Just to be completly honest, I have a XP/2000/Me/98se/98/95/RedHat 9 multiboot test machine, a XP/RedHat 8 dualboot primary machine and a G5 on order.
