I'm Officially Taking A Wait And See Attitude (Or More Apple Crap)

Here's another copy/paste from another email I sent whining about the 'MacTel' decision.

I watched the keynote and I admit it was very good (watch it here). My problem with them moving to Intel is cost. Intel based PC's are dirt cheap, and Mac's aren't. I've been hearing around that Apple will NOT allow OS X to run on anything other than a Mac. That's all good and fine, and Apple makes a gorgeous computer but the prices HAVE to be close to what Dell sell's the same PC for. With the Power PC processors (which still are superior to the x86), Mac OS X and the hardware design I feel you are getting a good package deal. Change out the Power PC's to Intel Pentium's and you're getting a FreeBSD based operating system on a Pentium box with a pretty case. It's just not that special to me anymore. Give me OS X, I'll build my own PC (which I've been doing forever) and I'll be satisfied. We'll have to wait until the end of 2006 to see if I'm willing to buy one...
