Why doesn't Apple design an operating system for PC?

--- End quote ---
I'm the same way. Both of my computers were originally cheap models that I've rebuilt, buying each part at a time. One only retains the original procesor, case, cd-rw and floppy; everything else in it has been replaced. And I'll probably never buy a whole computer again either, since they work so much better now and I can choose exactly which parts I want.
And simply put, I can't afford to buy a Mac. Buying computer parts and assembling them myself is the only way I can afford to have a computer at all. Now, I haven't applied to Apple for a loan, but I know I wouldn't be accepted anyway, since I keep getting turned down for credit everywhere else too.
So, for me, I only go to Apple.com to drool occasionally.

But it IS possible to build your own Mac. You can even upgrade your PC into a Mac, if you like.

You can also buy a customised Mac, and even exchange your Mac for a new one:

Here you can buy an upgraded Cube:

I do not want to fuck around with bulding a computer. especially when i rely hevaily on my machine to get work done. the mac lets me focus on my work, and not on making sure shit is running. i could by a dell or something, but the mac has been the most reliable system i have ever used. it is def worth the money. when i feel like toying around, i play with pc's.

If Apple did port OS X to x86 it would still only run on Apple branded machines. Apple is a hardware company. Steve went down the let's sell software road once before, remember OpenStep? The G5 killed any possibility that OS X would be ported to x86 any time soon.
