[CoLoCo] Recent Mac Purchase

[David L. Willson]

Help me out here.  What is the point of buying a Macbook and putting something else on it?  To spend more?  You know that Linux runs on much less costly laptops, so why bludgeon a functioning install of 10.5 or whatever, that you just ~paid for~?

Virtualization, sure, but kick OS X off the hardware?  What's the point of spending all the extra money then?
