Comment Re: But does it matter any more? (Score 1) 181

The thing that Compaq reverse-engineered to build the first "IBM Compatible" back in the 80's. If you think that a Mac is a "PC" then try booting DOS on it. Doesn't work, huh?

The Mac has had a BiOS emulation level since 2006. You can take a 64 bit version of Windows and install it on a 64 bit Mac just by sticking the disk in,

For a 32-bit Mac (like my Core Duo Mac Mini), you have to reformat the disk first to use MBR and then you can just stick a Windows 7 disk in and install it like you would any other PC.

So in that case you bringing up the Mac vs. PC commercials as evidence made no sense since a Mac has been "able" to have Windows installed since 2006. When Apple stopped supporting my 2006 Mac Mini, all I had to do was reformat the hard drive and stick a Windows 7
  disk in and it worked perfectedly.

So by your definition a Mac is a PC.

$18 billion profit, but they can't afford to make their phones in a country with decent labour laws. Nope, can't do it. The numbers just don't add up I tell you. Apple are the apotheosis of psychopathic corporate greed, at the expense of any human decency.

So which country are most of your electronic products made in? What about your clothes? your shoes?
