Power computing put together hardware that was almost mac level
and then they put Apple software on it which only just worked.
Pretty short lived idea.

actually, their computers exceeded macs in some ways and they were
quite successful at it.

Why don't Apple write an OS for PCs ? Then OS X would have a bigger market
share. Why not export iOS so it can be used on the andriod system ?
Again increasing their market share.

apple wisely does not chase market share.

Irrelivent, and you know it or should know it.

not irrelevant at all.

porting macos and ios to pc and android hardware would involve a
significant number of compromises because that hardware lacks key
features. the result would be awful.

So, makes no diffence, they did it at power computing didn't they.
If they cna do it how come apple can't.

whoosh.

apple is the first trillion dollar company. they're doing something
right.

Yep not charging for the OS's seems to be working, just include
it in the price of the computer when purchased.

except the price of the computers did not change when the os went from
paid to free.
