One of the more logical reasons I have read why porting to Mac not cost effective.
As to Mac's being snobs, same could be seen with Sony ("elitist" computers) vs other PC's.
I do not want to get into a flame war. I am a switch hitter, taking the best out of both hardware and systems.
I still am on XP because my old PC was not "Certified" to run Win7 (that is hilarious considering everyone is bashing Mac OS X for being proprietary, when Windows is just as closed).
I was also peeved on price: WinXP to Win7 update is $299, while the Mac OS 10.5 to 10.6 update is only $29.00 (1/10 the cost).

where as mac is about total control of every aspect of software/hardware, therefore its simpler to use, more reliable, but you have extremely limited variety and options in both the software and hardware

Tenn,
Apple Mac's have the ability to boot 100% into whatever version of Windows you want, even Win7.
Apple designed and made hardware, running Microsoft Windows.
And a top end Mac tower is about the same price as a top end Dell Xeon.
So, now anyone can install anything they want on Apple computers, and then some.
the ONLY truly open system is Linux. Anyone prove otherwise.
The best reason PC dominates games?
about 90% of home computers run some version of Windows.
But there is a few million Mac's out there, so.
