Apple Wants Your Input

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the but-only-one-mouse-click-at-a-time dept.

Johnny Mnemonic writes "Apple is asking for feedback specifically from PC users about why you might be considering a Mac purchase, or if you recently purchased a Mac for the first time, why you made the switch. A good opportunity to sound off about your Apple peeves, but also a chance to let Apple know what you think they're doing right. The Mac OS X feedback page, originally from the Public Beta, is still up and accepting feedback, also."

  1. I used to be a mac user by CmdrTaco+(editor) · · Score: 0, Redundant
    I used to be a devoted mac user, and I still am deep down in my heart. But one incident drove me to the Wintel world. Back in the mid 1990's (I think it was 1995 or 1996) I bought an Apple-clone from Power Computing. It was a killer machine, and having been a Mac user since its origin I really enjoyed buying a top of the line computer for a somewhat affordable price. Had it not been for the competition, I would probably not been able to afford buying a new computer.

    But, as soon as Apple decided to buy back the licenses it had sold to the clone companies, enough was enough. Apple had abandoned me as a consumer of their product, the MacOS, so I was going to abandon them. I have not bought a single product of theirs since, and have built countless Wintel machines.

    My suggestion: bring back hardware licensing! It will increase market share and increase the purchases of their OS, where the real money is at anyway.
