    Apple Has Squandered The Gift That Was Vista

    Yes, Apple missed their chance...With Windows 7 comming soon on the heals of Vista failure, they should have sold MAC OS to us PC enthusiasts. I would surely purchase a flavor of MAC OS to run on my PC. Come on Apple.....sell just us the OS!!!! I do not want your overpriced hardware.
