What if apple built mac os version for pc
1 comments
Then Apple would sell fewer macs.
They would be opening themselves to a world of pain with hardware drivers that they are immune to as long as osx is only available for hardware they choose to sell. (There is a lot of PC hardware to support, and some of it is quite unreliable --- Windows' reputation for flakiness is not entirely its fault.)
This would go against Apple's whole approach to computing --- that hardware and software should be integrated.
But this debate has been done to death before.

This. There are no real advantages for Apple to do so and it would only lead to a less than ideal (or great) product.
what do you think?
