* Apple has Boot Camp because they have to allow Dual Booting in order to lure in the majority of computer users—Windows users. They sure as hell aren't helping Linux users out.

* Apple introduced Boot Camp when they were still user-friendly—before they started constructing their walled guarden (located at 1984 Infinite Loop).

* Of course Apple provides the Windows drivers for Apple's own machines; every vendor that supports Windows has always had to do so.

Corporations couldn't buy so much power if the government didn't have so much power to sell in the first place.

In other words, either the problem is economic success through voluntary interaction, or the problem is a centralized monopoly on involuntary interaction for hire to the highest bidder. Which one is it?

Bankruptcy is defined by the government.

Corporate liability firewalls are defined by the government.

Taxpayer cleanup is established by the government.

Competition in regulation was destroyed when a monopoly on regulation was declared by the government.

The existing regulation was establisehd by that government.

I see one common element throughout all of the details you dislike. Can you spot it?

The insurance company pays only because the insurance company is "legally responsible" to do so.

Are you getting it yet? When you purchase insurance, you are essentially offloading liability; indeed, if I don't have to pay everything (let alone anything), then why do I care whether you call me "solely liable" or not? At that point, it's just word games.

You are making a distinction without a difference.
