As some are pointing out the perils or maybe horrors of not having what OSX offers - the ease, the "just works" thingy. To be honest so does Windows and a lot of Linux distributions now. What is one point here, and most important for me at least, is that Apple Air line probably going off the air. The price point (value for money) of it was what convinced me to buy my first Apple product (4+ years ago; and last so far except a keyboard as I couldn't find a decent third party one in India). The cost of a machine that I don't need and don't like much either is isn't justifiable just to remain in a particular ecosystem I became comfortable with. My battery is dying and the machine itself is showing signs of age. I know I won't like it but when the time comes I will be looking for alternatives too if I can't get OSX in an affordable way.
