		<description>&quot;As most people have probably noticed the depreciation value of a computer is as bad as a car.&quot; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ebay item number: 200374666993 used mac going for 689.99 and item: 160356594762 going for 559.00&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So PC depreciation is more.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Apple has opened its source code to developers to make High quality super stable software.  Microsoft has not and will not. They even make developers pay to have the software listed in their approved and safe list.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;At least on a PC you can use Microsoft Windows or Linux but certainly not Mac operating system (OS).  You cannot even legally put anyone else’s OS on an Apple computer.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;With Apple&#039;s Boot Camp you can dual boot or even change the OS that you want to use. Mac OS X, MS, Sun &amp; Linux.&lt;br&gt;I have Mac,  XP &amp; Red Hat Enterprise Linux on my apple computer.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_Camp_%28software&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_Camp_(software&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;At least on a PC, I can choose any number of hardware manufacturers and choose the better buy.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;MS make you have to check to see if the hardware you have will work with its OS.&lt;br&gt;I know the new Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard will work on my system.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;You must by(buy) their over priced hardware and their over prices operating system&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;MS Vista Upgrade $99.95&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/Windows-Vista-Home-Basic-with-SP1-32-bit-Upgrade/product/17981D7F?WT.mc_id=winonline_upgradehomebasic&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/Windows-Vi...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Upgrade $29.00&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://store.apple.com/us/product/MAC_OS_X_SNGL&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://store.apple.com/us/product/MAC_OS_X_SNGL&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Have 3 computers in your home&lt;br&gt;$300 to upgrade each with Vista.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;$49.00 for the Family pack(covers up to 5 macs) of Snow Leopard&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also I did have one problem with one of my macs.

<p>So PC depreciation is more.</p>
<p>Apple has opened its source code to developers to make High quality super stable software.  Microsoft has not and will not. They even make developers pay to have the software listed in their approved and safe list.</p>
<p>&#8220;At least on a PC you can use Microsoft Windows or Linux but certainly not Mac operating system (OS).  You cannot even legally put anyone else’s OS on an Apple computer.&#8221;</p>
<p>With Apple&#39;s Boot Camp you can dual boot or even change the OS that you want to use. Mac OS X, MS, Sun &#038; Linux.<br />I have Mac,  XP &#038; Red Hat Enterprise Linux on my apple computer.</p>

<p>So PC depreciation is more.</p>
<p>Apple has opened its source code to developers to make High quality super stable software.  Microsoft has not and will not. They even make developers pay to have the software listed in their approved and safe list.</p>
<p>&#8220;At least on a PC you can use Microsoft Windows or Linux but certainly not Mac operating system (OS).  You cannot even legally put anyone else’s OS on an Apple computer.&#8221;</p>
<p>With Apple&#39;s Boot Camp you can dual boot or even change the OS that you want to use. Mac OS X, MS, Sun &#038; Linux.<br />I have Mac,  XP &#038; Red Hat Enterprise Linux on my apple computer.</p>
