Just not betting on Apple, that's all. I think/hope the "corporations" only have a couple of years left before open source takes over completely. At the moment they still have some hold on the hardware, but open source hardware will fix that. Apple hurts my brain because I can not amend it to my needs.

but open source cannot compete with apple. That is like saying an army with no generals, navy, air force or money will beat an army with a great general with stealth bombers, battleships, and a building filled with hundred dollar bills and gold bars. Just not gonna happen.

In my opinion Linux has already beat Microsoft and Apple on the desktop, why should it not be possible with hardware?

Open Source can have generals, too, and if money was the only issue, why didn't Microsoft beat Apple?

"Why didn't Microsoft beat Apple?"

Because the CEO of microsoft believes emulating the alpha male of a gorilla exhibit in the zoo is the best way to lead people?
