Maybe windows needs to start making its own hardware?

Exactly! Apple just comes up with pretty boxes that sheeple like to buy so they can show off at home on coffee table. Most apple users don't even know how to open boxes so never try and use their 2x slower/4x costlier toy computers. Apple lucky so many (l)users have so much money to throw away over apple boxen.

Just look at the source code, comment out what you don't like and compile.

Please tell this to the scientists and engineers I support. At least once a day I get My job failed! or X doesn't run!. Apparently, noting down details, such as what system you're on, what error messages received, etc, is for suckers. Or maybe they assume IT techs can read their minds. I know a lot of them think we have magic wands we can wave and make x, y, and z happen.

I dropped out of art school to fix early desktop systems in the late 80's. Now I admin HPC systems. Still, would be cool to one day get my BFA.

C'mon, you know deep in the Apple dungeon they have a Hari Seldon vault where Jobs' pre-recorded holograms pop up telling them what they need to do next.

Yeah, saw one at Daytona. Pretty stupid looking. But a modern Aluminum V6 with direct injection, making 320 hp/300 ft-lbs torque and weighing 150 lbs? That would be cool in a bike.

Still, Apple could be moving towards a consumer / developer split on hardware. Consumer stuff might be something like an iMac/iPad hybrid walled-garden thing and developer would be those little black trash can Mac pros they're about to release.
