It just came to me out of nowhere; the "colossal difference" between Microsoft and Apple...(and I can't believe I'm just now seeing this) is that when Apple sales you a new OS it comes with a PC to use it on, think about all the Apple OS's of the past and you can probably name the computer it was running on, take OS X for example I ran it on a Apple G4; on the other hand Microsoft (and you know I love you) Microsoft just throws it's Operating System out there and leaves it to the consumer to find a machine to run it on...I'm not a average user but my first run with Windows 3.1...I have no idea the machine I installed it on...maybe a Tandy 1000...let's take XP...maybe I ran it on...funny "I have no idea", I know the processor, but the consumer isn't really interested in that...it just so funny to me after 30 years of fooling with PC hardware I just now come to this...So weird, Apple comes out with a computer...Microsoft does the same thing...but for some reason software companies prefer the latter. "Oh well !"
