But people like you (and probably people like me too) would pay Apple (or not pay anything) for the OS alone and then install it onto our own hardware. If Apple allowed, like Windows, the use of any hardware with their OS they would presumably have to provide some support for said hardware, and there's just too much out there. <BR/>The reason a Mac "just works" is that Apple controls every aspect of it's development.

So it uses it.<BR/><BR/>But Apple certainly doesn't "love" it, and has said on a number of occasions that it would much prefer to move forward without DRM.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
