A Windows machine lets you use every major platform except Mac OS X which, like it or not, has a fairly large installed base.



Uhh… who’s fault is that? Most certainly not Microsoft. In the EULA of OSX, (if you read it), you will see that you can only install OSX on Apple branded products. Plenty of Windows based computers can run OSX and some people opt to do that. Thus the term Hackintosh.

There use to be a company that sold these "Hackintosh"es… Until Apple served a Cease and Desist. When they didn’t, Apple brought their lawyers.

Edit: the company was called Psystar. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psystar_Corporation
