Let's see, you build a computer for $400 dollars. You sell it for $500. You make a $100 profit. or You write an OS. You press the discs for pennies and sell it for hundreds. You profit hundreds. I like the Apple Hardware. Heck, comparing Mac to PCs is like comparing BMW's to Toyotas. I like all the bells and whistles that you get on a mac. However, I would like to see OS X's install base grow. If folks can install it legally on P4 boxes. I can see more people buying the software for their already purchased computer. However, as Mac Sales are up, I don't see Apple doing this just yet. But what OS are people really installing on their Macs? I don’t think there is a ton of money to be made in hardware.
