| 602353 | 2007-10-17 10:49:00 | Then why can I still buy a laptop WITH Vista (which is an OS btw) installed on it for around $1200??? Lets make it real clear: OS (This is the software) Laptop (This is the hardware) OS + Laptop = $1200 ($1300 even) < $1848 Use iCalc or something else that Apple supplies to see which is the smaller number. |

| 602354 | 2007-10-17 10:52:00 | but don't the 1200$ lappys only have vista basic? which is not the full os in terms of Vista? so its not 7??$ for it. its less. um, if ya want OS X on non mac hardware, use linux with some apps to make it look like it hehe. | Cho (12330) | ||

That would be Vista Home Basic which is the cheaper crippled version of Vista. I am aware that Vista is an OS, Beeswax, I was pointing that out to you in my previous post. To pre-empt your next useless comment - Microsoft makes money of the software ($768 - Vista Ultimate on a $1200 laptop) while third party hardware makers compete against each other to sell the cheapest PCs and laptops they can while trying to make a profit on the difference.($432 - actual cost of laptop minus the OS , not that I would buy a $432 laptop) |

| 602358 | 2007-10-18 01:08:00 | My one came with Vista Home Premium and thats pretty much everything you'd want from Vista, other than encryption and backup for which I use my own 3rd party software thank you very much. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 602359 | 2007-10-18 01:16:00 | Good for you Beeswax, how much is Vista Home Premium on its own? (disk only) OS X comes with File Vault as standard as well as System Utilities for backups and maintenance. |

| 602360 | 2007-10-18 01:41:00 | Can you tell us exactly why you want to get MacOSX? Because it's fast, look stylish and simple. I don't know about anything about security or anything like that. Maybe the appearance and interface attract me. And it's cheap for OS itself. Thanks for asking |
