I think the issue comes down to the ad trying to compare Apples to Oranges. pcs and macs are simply differant products designed for differant needs but are competing in the same markets. You generally get what you pay for so take your pick. With apple products you pay more for "safety" of not having to fiddle with drivers and hardware issues because apple has made the decisions for you to a certain extent and the kind of decisions you have is how much memory you need and whether you want it in black or white. this is just perfect for people who don't want to be bothered with too many technical details. Then there is also the image factor, for some reason having a macbook, iphone or ipad will look "better" than having a similarly specd gadget from china. same way that driving a showroom benz just looks better that a toyota. For PC its about variety and supporting any configuration depending on your needs which can be a very confusing affair for the uninformed. And even then there are the m$ products and there is the open source stuff. with M$ being similar in some ways to apple products in terms of being configured and easier to use out of the box(buying hardware with m$ installed) and all. So I don't think its fair to bash apple for their products but I also think apple can be smarter in their marketing and not have to try bashing pcs. Its like the Java bashing Tea Room for the kind of tea they make. "Hi, I am Java, I dont just make Tea I make coffee too, I have comfortable seating in a nice quiet environment not like those people down in tea room who make tea next to noisy matatus....", my thots.

Aki your arguments about installing MacOS on other hardware are deeply and fundamentally flawed.
Apple have never promised you MacOS can run on any hardware.
Why do you insist? You are behaving as if you were conned in some way. Why?
