@gameover: I think some of what you're saying is lost in translation, but your aggressive assertiveness with the several gaffes you made do not give a positive impression.
Neither a "hackintosh" running OS X and Windows nor a genuine Apple running OS X and Windows are emulating anything. Both are running on native Intel hardware.
You also keep asserting how one may boot windows on a Mac. Why would I want to have to reboot and switch OSs for different applications? Yes, you can boot windows, but if you can do everything you can do with a Mac in Windows, but you can't do everything a Windows PC can do on a Mac, why even boot into the Mac OS?
I know a lot of people like the style and the ease of use it provides, but I honestly only feel limited when I use a Mac. Macs are not known for the upgradability nor their diverse software. Hell, most software seems to be more expensive on a Mac. I tried to find a good text editor for script editing and the solution I found was much more limited and overall clunkier than the freeware text editor I use on my PC (PSPad).
Also, I find Windows to be much much more customizable. I am one who actually loves an icon dock. I use RocketDock on the bottom of my screen which is similar to the OS X Dock. I also use tools like WinRoll to customize my UI the way I like it to work. Yes, these are features that are accomplished on the Mac, but they are also accomplishable on a PC.
As for the media industry, the reason why most still use Macs is because of training. This goes back to the early 90s when Macs were much more usuable for graphic work. Also, Apple donated a lot of computers to educational institutes in return for grants guaranteeing that peoples training was usually done on a Mac. Then there's firewire which allowed transfer speeds between hardware at speeds which dwarfed USB 1 and anything else. Firewire, or IEEE 1394, was created by Apple giving them a huge advantage with Media as it became the standard for a/v equipment. Firewire is now much more accessible on a PC.
So what it comes down to is this:
Pros:
- Apples are easy to use
- Apples are not as often targeted by malware
- Apples DO compare in price to higher end PCs
Cons:
- Why dual boot Windows when you can just use Windows?
- Lower end PCs have ~90% of the functionality for a franction of the price.
- Not as upgrade friendly
I have the utmost respect for Apple. I defended them through the late 90s while their System was a crash happy pain in the ass. My first computer in 1985 was an original Macintosh which I used up until the early 90s. OS X is in actualty an impressive OS based on BSD which is a step in a positive direction for computing.
BUT, the smugness which Apple has been extruding from their "I'm a Mac" ads have really made me start disliking the company. The absolute fanboyism by Apple fans, parishiners of the Church of Apple, have become so deluted by their holy prophet, Steve Jobs, that they can almost be likened to another dubious church (Granted Mac fanboys have always been a bit extreme).
In Closing:
Macs are great.
Acknowledge that all OSes have flaws.
PCs are good at what they do (which is almost everything).
Linux is awesome at what it does.
