   This looks like nothing more than the PopcornHour in a different case with a slightly different main menu interface. It has pretty much the same features, the playback options and menus are identical...

   It's not just a financial issue, not releasing OSX to PCs.... One of the reasons it's so "stable" is that it doesn't have to support thousands of different types of hardware. They make it to work with a set number of devices and that's it. If they opened it like Windows, it would surely have the same issues with drivers as Vista had upon release for example.

   Being a 23 year PC veteran, I'm starting to look into Mac as an alternative because Microsoft has made the same mistake with Vista that they did with Windows ME: a so-so operating system with lots of bells and whistles nobody wanted, and (at launch) lots of problems. And by forcing people to adopt it when everybody was fairly happy with XP, they're not making friends.
   
   I am starting to experiment with OS X and so far I like it. Takes a bit of getting used to, I admit but it's not that bad.
   
   The "war" between fanboys of each side is ridiculous. It's a matter of personal taste and opinion. You don't like something? fine. No need to start bashing the other "side". The internet and everybody's rude opinions behind a keyboard are becoming the downfall of manners and respect towards others... (this last part is not directed at the person I replied to ;) )
