I see your point. Thanks.
Now you understand how it boggles my mind that because Macs lack BD, people will blindly assert that Windows are better machines.
Life is too short to hold grudges. Thanks.
So my friends, that work in the publicity industry, and that also were fellow Mac-users for years, are idiots because they recently switched back to Windows for having full-accessibility to the company's own software?? Or, are those folks @ DTS Inc. (the company that's behind DTS-HD Master Audio) idiots because they use Windows-based machines for surround sound processing and monitoring?? I once went to see one of their audio technicians working on some surround stuff, and it didn't ran a Mac for the process.
So, even though OSX can be a solid OS for some people, it's just not meant for certain businesses/enterprises that require "special" internal softwares or other Windows-based technologies. And your statement "because Macs lack BD, people will blindly assert that Windows are better machines", has nothing to do with the fact that most people/businesses will always choose Windows to get their work done. And not everyone that buys a Windows machine wants Blu-Ray at all costs. Certain people simply can't afford a Mac (i'm talking about the TOP "Pro" ones, which are the only DECENT models), and their budget obviously lends them to get what you call "a garbage" machine, which may also include a Blu-Ray drive.
Blu-ray is the industry standard, same as HDMI, VGA, DVI etc... That's why manufacturers include them.
The problem of Apple, is that they never brought technologies from the industry, but they always invented something to "limit" the user (Thunderbolt? Mini-DP? I don't see many devices with these technologies). Thus, if you want to hook your Full-HD monitor you have to shell out another $50, if you wanna go HDMI. And for some people this is just nauseaus. Because they expect to have EVERYTHING at their own disposal, specially when they make an expensive investment of $2500 or something.
Different things leads people to choose a Windows machine over a Mac.....enough said
