Macs have always had the reputation of being well, expensive. Lately with Intel Macs and the new unibody macbook pro's people have been flocking to get a mac. Not to mention the clever adverts on TV. But what are you really getting? Are you getting a PC that never has issues like Windows machines do? Or are you being lied to? Odds are if you bought a mac in the last 5 years, you swallowed some big Subterfuge. Let me explain before all the Mac fans send me kill-mail.
I own several PC's, one of which is a MacBook 15" from late 2007. Recently I decided to go on a little adventure and install OSX on a Non-Mac Machine (Won't tell you how, that's not the point). After waging war with drivers and compatibility I finally did it and had everything working on my Non-Mac Mac.
The interesting thing while doing this is what I found about Mac's and the hardware/software relationship they have.
Was digging through some folders on an old PC and came across this design I did for ACFE back in 2007 while I worked for Avectra, Inc.
