I doubt you build your friend's computers, but if you do.or your friends are similar to you (i.e. Market share continues to grow, but people aren't actually purchasing any Apple products. Soon your aunt wants to upgrade, repeat above story. Apple gains market share and makes no money.

He orders OS X compatible parts, and you build the machine and install your pirated copy of OS X. He talks to your parents, they tell him they love their OS X compatible PC. He comes to you for advice because you built his last PC.

Your grandfather, a year later, decides to upgrade his PC. You tell them to order OS X compatible parts, and you install your pirated copy of the OS on the machine after you build it. Next month your parents decide they want to upgrade their PC and come to you for advice (because you built their last PC).
It's a lot more likely that it goes like this: I'm not sure how you can recommend buying stock PCs if you build. No.you already admit to pirating the OS and building the PCs. Hey you, Ferrari - why aren't you selling as many cars as Toyota? Slackers! Is it inconceivable that Apple might have success criteria that are different from Microsoft? Is it impossible that we, as users, can understand and embrace that kind of diversity of thought in the marketplace? Not every company needs to (or should) try to maximize sales and market penetration like Microsoft - just like every person doesn't need to try to be as rich as Bill Gates, as musical as Mozart, as tall as Shaq, etc. I rarely walk away from using a Microsoft product thinking that this was created by someone who loves computers as much as I do. under the leadership of the norotiously persnickety Steve Jobs). Very few other technology companies exhibit this same exuberance that has been an Apple hallmark for many years (esp. In my opinion, the most significant characteristic of Apple, as a company and a culture, is that they clearly love computers and it shows in everything they build - hardware and software. Perhaps they like building computers and maybe, just maybe, their legions of aficionados would like them to continue doing so. Perhaps Apple doesn't want to change into a software company. BTW, I say all this typing from a Sony VAIO. My *opinion* is, that there never has been a Dell laptop which could compare with an Apple Powerbook for build quality or overall system quality. But the laptops are not built well enough to be used as laptops in my opinion. A lesson in appreciation of quality over barrel bottom scraping "value".ġ6. A system which could come with any combination of a number of different parts. One hundred and fifty three billion different services installed and set to run by default, with a systray that goes half way across the screen when maximized.ġ4.

Lots of half baked software which is designed to get you to "upgrade to the pro version which actually works" with yet more money.ġ3.
Only to be bothered for money 3 months later.ġ2. Anti virus software which takes the performance down by about one hundred annoyance notches.

An OS made by someone else, with drivers made by yet some other people again. Non English speaking support, once they actually answer the phone.ĩ. Poor performance (compared against other x86).Ĩ. A trackpad/nipple which have you chanting, "The power of Christ compels you!."ħ. A floppy drive which goes out of alignment after you first use it (two weeks after the warrantee ran out, because you don't use floppies that much). A CDROM drive with a dodgy eject button and requires a "right click -> eject".ģ. You send them money, then weeks later you get a laptop which comes complete with:ġ.
Which I can get from Dell or something similar. So you are paying for a complete experience. Apple switched from PowerPC to Intel because they wanted to get faster processors into their current lineup and maintain and increase the number of people buying Apple boxes, not decimate their hardware division's sales overnight. I'm sure there are some potential Mac users waiting in the wings, held off by the high cost of Apple hardware, but this is not a market that I suspect Apple really cares about.

If Mac OS ran on commodity hardware, perhaps they'd pick up a few disgruntled Windows users, and Linux users who want something easier to use, but I suspect any positive movement would be greatly offset by the number of current Mac users who would switch to cheaper hardware and deny Apple profit. Or it could backfire horribly, like the "experiment" with clones/CHRP did: Apple's overall market share didn't change, but users who previously had bought Apple hardware migrated to Power Computing and Motorola and UMax boxes, giving Apple only a licensing fee instead of the 20% margin they previously did.
