i think most people know android is linux in a suit and yes linux is wonderful, but as its open source, it will never get commercial like windows or apple

Red Hat makes an annual revenue of about 3 billion. Obviously far less than apple, but pretty good for a distributor of an open source software package.
Linux (and their derivatives) are by far the #1 operating system in the webserverdomain. (and probably also in the scientific domain)

quite right too didnt know it was that much though

[real geek mode] not according to Rossmann....[/real geek mode]

His business model is brilliant - slate the product that is his bread and butter.

haha. Indeed, but if you hear what kind of crap he gets from apple and the apple stores/genius bar I don't blame him.
It's utter crap the products apple sell and the support they give. The only thing brilliant about apple is their marketing department.
They have a complete nazi attitude towards rights of customers and the supporting community.

I agree about community support with right to repair etc

Unfortunately it does fall on the retail stores to do much of the heavy lifting and it does boil down to who you see on the day.

Had this delema 12 months ago when replacing a Dell XPS laptop, wanted to like the MacBook Pro but the more you researched them the more you realise it's old internals in a flashy chassis at a ridiculous price so ended up with another Dell. Same with Apple phones so a thumbs down from me.

With respect, if you do research you end up with that view. If you actually use one day to day you may well feel different. I use a Macbook Pronat home and a bleeding edge Windows laptop at work. Home kit feels better and performs better.

I don’t care what people use, it doesn’t affect me, just pointing out it’s not all about the specs.

Sorry I disagree but it comes down to budget and what you get for your cash and MacBooks really are a ripoff on the hardware side at their price point. I don't know about operating systems which is really what the topic is about but certainly when I looked at a MacBook Pro alongside the top of the range Dell XPS I felt no comparison and you are paying a grand more for the brand name. I didn't really want to spend the extra to find that out. Just my thoughts

Totally agree Tim, enjoy driving your MX-5

iPhone/iPad/ iMac integrate very well. Ie photo on one appears on other etc. You’ll have to forgive my ignorance here but does it work like that on Windows now?
