My iMac has a 27" screen, an intel i7 processor, 16 gigabytes of RAM, a

mac and if it is only available under a MS OS, under Windows 7 under
VMware?
For most users, the hardware platform no longer is relevant.
But you don't want to swap a hard drive.
I don't need to...Apple does it for me.
Like I said, for people who don't want to know they have a computer.
Absurd.
No, but maybe behind the times.
It used to be that Apple was like taking a taxi everywhere, and Windows
was basically driving and maintaining your own car.
In terms of the OS, since Windows 7, and to some extent XP, that's
changed.
I've never had to tinker with Windows 7 - not a bit.
I don't know anything about Apple hardware.
I do know that with my Windows systems I can pick and choose among many
vendors to change hardware parts, and improve or fix anything myself
without relying on one vendor.
Pretty much like I can select the type of oil and filters for my car.
Or soup it up.
It's an "ownership" thing.
Saying "I don't need to...Apple does it for me." is no different than
saying "Call a cab, I got no car keys."
