Thank you.

It's amazing how few people get it, even after all these years.

The only reason there's demand for OS X now is because it runs so flawlessly, the
user experience for the OS is smooth as hell, and the quality is basically unmatched,
anywhere, in the software industry.

People don't think about what they're asking when they start this 'yay clones' crap.
Apple should NOT. EVER. allow other hardware manufacturers to make clones. It
happened mid-90's and failed horribly, and the only reason Apple got back on it's
feet is because it got its act together, made a very solid business plan and stuck
with it. (Innovation aside, nobody would care about Apple if the user experience
wasn't dead-on).

OS X on other hardware would be a disaster, it would be buggy, bloated,
compromise-ware that would get targeted from every malware creater from here to
Wazoo because people would hate it so much. Apple would make less on hardware,
and spend millions fixing, patching and counter-suing when that cash could have
been spent on further innovations.

They're doing the right thing and should keep doing it. Anyone complaining about
price should save up, go buy one, and see how much you actually save in the
long run not spending countless $ on useless crap like virus programs, repairs for
cheap components and time wasted with workflow inconsistencies.

I should save this for future reference. :/
