you don't have to, so keep your fucking mouth shut unless you actually know what you are talking about.
I ask a legitimate question and thank fully get some useful responses but unfortunately you answered. You are the worst kind of linux advocate. It's no wonder that linux hasn't moved into the main stream (the "can i buy it on my machine at best-buy" main stream and not the "option on Dell's website" kind of main stream) - who would want to come to you for help?
You can't pay your employees in goodwill. You can't spend money on R&D with bonhomie. You can't buy equipment from suppliers with charity. Apple needs to make money so that it can (repeat after me) continue to stay in business. This is true of every company whether it be Apple, Microsoft, Exxon, your local pub, or the corner grocer.
As an aside: everyone talks about how Linux is open source and free. If Linux is so free then why do I have to pay Debain, Red Hat, LinuxPPC for a free program?

Apple is definitely a commercial company
