Why did I buy a Mac?
Published April 6th, 2006 in RamblingsSeems like the point of buying a Mac is dissolving before our very eyes, now that you’ll soon be able to legally run Windows on Intel Macs. Guess I don’t need to worry though, since mine’s a G4.
I wonder where Apple and the Macintosh will be in a few years. I don’t think the hardware side of Apple will last long. Many people have been telling me that for a while but I wasn’t convinced, but not any more. I liked the distinction between WinTel and Mac hardware, but that’s now pretty much gone. Perhaps allowing Windows to run might prolong the inevitable disappearance of distinct Mac hardware. Or not.
To be honest what I’d really like to see is running OS X on other [read cheaper] hardware. Apple may as well do it, they’re certainly not going to shock their fans any more than they have in the last little while.
That all said, I really, really want a MacBook Pro now…..dual boot, to move in both circles :)
