come on guys.. didnt the mac platform shift to the PC platform when mac jumped into bed with intel with core duo and then again with wintel with bootcamp.

Overall M$ is still smarter here.. PC's can do more stuff than mac. Its nice that macs have a more stable/virus free OS, but compared to windows they have horridly expensive hardware(why the hell use proprietary RAM), limited 3rd party support. In fact I choose ubuntu over OSX anyday..

why dont mac ads show macs running web servers, or playing cool 1080p higher games? well coz very very few macs do that..

Im not a huge vista supporter either, even though it runs on my rig fine, but paying 2-3 even 4x for the same shit is ridiculous.

You are living in the past my friend.  Macs use all industry standards parts- hard drives, memory, graphics cards, processors.   They do use custom designed mother boards and fan systems (which is why they are so quiet),  which supports Apple's corporate interest in unique design and creating attractive form factors.  

 

 

So basically they are overcharging a ton for the same hardware.  The OS is only $100, and if the hardware is the same as that of a PC, why the extra $500+ cost?

And what we are saying that you keep missing is that just because the technique is slightly different doesn't mean the capability isn't there and isn't as secure.

But it is NOT as secure.  Windows requires nothing to be setup to protect it from password reset by using the OS disc.   Sure Macs may have different techniques to make them secure, but right out of the box, for the general user setup, they will be vulnerable and will remain much more vulnerable.  You still haven't seemed to grasp that was my point.  Instead you insist on trying to give examples of how the Mac "can" be secure, but only after editing certain aspects using methods unknown to the general public.
