Anybody who has a Windows NT 3.51 install CD-ROM has the installer for Power PC, MIPS, Alpha, and the Intel x86 processor. Because it's a multi-platform CD-ROM. My NT 3.51 CD is a Compaq OEM version, and even it supports all the platforms NT was ported to at the time.
I have used it to install Windows NT on an IBM PreP box, as well as an Alpha box. I am one of the very few who has run Windows on Power PC. It was very underwhelming, because there's zero third party software. I am pretty sure there isn't even a commonly available compiler for Windows NT/PPC so you can roll your own software.
I tried to install an Apple OS on one of my machines, but they are terrible with driver support. They support about 1/1000th of the hardware that the other more open OSes (Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, even BeOS) support.
So are you the new Apple shill? Or did somebody sell their old account to an Apple PR agent?
If you really want to get enraged, note that we're still using 8-1/2" x 11" sheets of paper regularly. At least in the US. Other places use paper of a slightly different arbitrary size.
It isn't 2009 any longer. The 'Google's actual customers' meme is old and worn out. We already know that.
And Apple literally kill off old versions of their hardware with non-reversible 'last upgrades' and have done so consistently with their phone hardware for years.
Don't deflect to Microsoft. If you choose to live in the Apple Company Town, that's fine. But don't act like we'll respect your 'wise choice' to do so.
It does indeed remind me that the 'victims' are the same oppressive asshole types as the whites back during the Trail of Tears. Not to the same degree, but definitely the same attitude.
I agree, and would never go for a phone that is 'nothing more than a data source for Google.'
Which is why I chose an inexpensive Samsung Galaxy phone. Samsung has a somewhat adversarial relationship with Google, which is a good thing in my book.
One thing I would never, ever, do is buy a phone where the whole stack from the hardware to the OS came from a single sourced vendor, and with a locked single app store. That's just putting your head in the lion's mouth.
I think AppleInsider is where the most smarmy Apple fans hang out. They have a cadre mentality and a well formed routine for identifying, isolating and removing non-Apple zealots from their forum.
Since we are talking about Apple, you might want to call it slashdot's 'IBM' engine*.
(* Mac zealots from ye olden times referred to any system that ran Windows or MS-DOS as 'IBM' and continued to do so long after IBM had abandoned the PC-DOS market. The Mac zealot army has always seen a need to face a single, large, monolithic target as their opponent, even though they really are up against all of 'the rest of us' on our open platforms)
Google thrashes around and a lot of productive things come out of the churn. Apple's churn mostly produces dongles and massive eWaste a few years after each product release.

Nobody cares. People made a lot of money who got in early on Beanie Babies, too.

The big lie. You say so many ridiculous things in your reply that the numerous untruths are hidden in the mess.
Only cult members spend their time labeling non-cult members 'haters.'
So go fiddle around with your eMeter, or your iPod or whatever clever contraption you feel good about fiddling around with.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
I could rent an apartment three counties away from my house to put my refrigerator in.
Why would uploading my music to Google make any more sense?
Similar investors are confident in their Bitcoin investments.

It makes no sense at all!!!!!
After the crash, they can make that big round building into a large flea market, or a center for dispensing social aid.

My motherboard has an AMD 80286 processor, you pratt.
What is so great about a 'desktop experience' from Poland?
And almost none of the food.

When your 'standing' is based on being a big gassed up balloon, if you deflate (or 'pop') you don't deflate to 'second largest.'
The creditors swarm and things quickly get ugly.
They removed the fingerprint sensor. So if you opt out of Face ID you opt out of the Iphone X, or you have to use keycode locking.

Hopefully it costs Google more to retain that information than it's worth.
We do need to work on ways of raising the cost.

Duh. I am going home. From work.
Animal dung has been a source of fuel in wood-scarce regions for the whole history of human civilization.
But that's a little like saying:
"Feed the people and hunger will no longer be a problem."
Sounds nice. Means very little.
You would discover if you explored history, that the people who advocating shooting for ideological reasons have generally been the brownshirts.
