How has Apple disposed of their hardware?

PC - Gaming
Mac - Video, webdesign, and recording music

they have shifted to x86 architecture - they haven't really disposed of it, but it's definately a step in that direction - running mac osx wont be a problem on a pc - it wont be legal, and you may need to fuck around a bit - but it will work. I think with time the mac will just turn into a pc -

he wasn't using OSX i assume....

Apple makes too much money on their hardware to abandon it. Time will tell if the hackers can keep one step ahead of Apple locking the OS out of non-Apple hardware.

Just because they've moved to Intel chipsets doesn't mean OS X will run on white-box Intel hardware. There are plenty of PowerPC-based machines (like XBOX 360) that you can't run OS X for PowerPC on.

well considering it's already been done - I'd argue with that -

Yeah, it's been done. With little drivers available, and no support. MMmm sounds good to me!

Well I don't know about earlier versions of Mac OS, but X has never crashed or locked up on me. I'm a PC user because I was raised with PCs, but Macs still kick ass.

regarding the cost of both systems, check this out:
for 350$+tax last night, i bought a AMD 64 3000+ CPU/Mobo Combo(179$), a cheap case(50$), 512 DDR Ram (75$) and a few fans. I used my old video card and hard drives, and i now have a rather serious computer for 350$. with the exception of an old video card (only 128 meg vid ram), everything's pretty much uptodate. I got 310 gigs of hard drive space as well. Boots up in 20 seconds. its glorious. PC FTW \m/
