Yes, but Apple is all about total control - if you limit the OS to only running hardware you produce, then you absolutely know that it is *guaranteed* to work with any hardware your customer owns, and you can spend your software time and resources in other directions, rather than finding ways to make it run on any hardware ever invented (which is part of MS's problem). That's the theory, as I see it, anyway. > On Wed, Dec 17, 2008 at 6:18 AM, Joseph L. Casale <jcas...@activenetwerx.com > > wrote: > >However I use a Mac.
