I've thought about your argument WMM and here's the best example (from your's about Nazis) I can come up with.
Nazis invented sarin (the nerve agent) but never used it.
Iraq used sarin on the Kurds.
The nazis were (are) evil but the use of sarin was something they did not do even though they invented it. (It was used in Germany as a pesticide though)
The Iraqis didn't invent sarin but used it. That was very evil.
MS is horrible... anyone who's read my posts know I don't like them. I actually am a fan of Mac OS and hardware though I have said many times that I think their policy of keeping their architecture closed is foolish (and the reason for their fringe player status with 3% market share). I have a Mac and enjoy it. If Mac uses this isnidious technology to protect their crazy policy I will never buy anything Mac again.
I'd be surprised if even you or Mike would defend their use of this horrible MS technology.

This is sort of funny considering all the warfare and proposed warfare that is going on today because some nations are trying to develop nuclear capability. Shouldn't we wait until they actually use it to be pissed at them?
Unfortunately nukes have the downside that we're all dead after the evil act is committed. Thankfully, rights management chips and piracy policies don't have those consequences.

Sure I would... if I could get a better product at a lower price. That wouldn't be the case with a car however. Well a daily. You know full well that track cars that follow this recipe (elise, ariel) make a great buy.
Don't you think the Mac OS is stable enough to run properly on a different platform? I do.
You Mac disciples crack me up sometime. Again, I like Macs. It's just goofy to have to buy the (very good) hardware at inflated prices to get the great OS. What's wrong with saying, 'I love the product but this is what's wrong with it.'

Honestly, I'm at the point where I have no problem spending an extra ten bucks on a network card and an extra twenty on a memory module for the piece of mind that it will all actually work together.
That's why I bought an S2000, too. The one and only point that Miata troll (JLB) ever had was that for pure performance per dollar you could do better than the S2000 by buying a Miata and spending thousands on modifications and weeks of your life messing with the thing. Cool, if that's what you want, but that's not what I want.
Nothing is wrong with talking about the problems in Apple's products. I just don't think this is one of the problems.

The variety of hardware available is one of the PCs greatest advantages that WinTel has over Mac. Yes, it causes some invariable headaches, but it gives the knowledgeable user the options to customize his PC as he sees it, and drives companies to make faster and better components. Nvidia vs ATI, Intel vs AMD, Nvidia vs VIA, etc have all 'hurt' Microsoft while greatly helping the consumer.
