Re: What's with Apple's commercials?

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but Mac OS X is based on Unix. the reason i find this kind of funny is just because other Unix based operating systems include Linux, Solaris, and BSD.. the common factor being that all of these are free... OS X however, for some reason is $130 (as though they don't charge enough for their hardware to just give people the OS for free) vista is at least made entirely by Microsoft, but Mac is mostly components you can have for free only a little more shiny so people will pay for it.

so... i'm mostly just trying to say that i find it disgusting how Mac brags so much in their ads about their unique features when most of them aren't unique at all

(however i should mention that i'm quite biased on this issue, i use Linux Ubuntu, and windows vista)
