Uhh, the steep price and proprietary hardware with lack of expandability? So, in other words, most of the applicable arguments about macs since the advent of Java and other cross-platform enterprise-level languages, and since the beginnings of F/OSS?
;-) just kidding
However, it is interesting how since the release of Macs on Intel Apple has been like "no." And now they're just like 'fine, we can't stop you.'
It seems like a brilliant decision, to be honest. I know that the supposed business plan of the old PowerMacs in the early 90's, or was it the Quadra? -The really ugle "PC" looking one, was to reach out to government and education for contracts. The contracts for these were often limited to use of computers that had DOS capacity. If those contract requirements are still in place for public-sector organizations, which, given the speed with which those types of things change, likely are, these effectively give Mac an end-run. Of course, between the two OS's, Windows still comes out looking like crap. I've never seen anything run so smoothly as a Mac.
