I bought my Mac the first month they appeared in 1984. I won't bother you with the ensuing history, but I will raise a question related to it: I remember when Apple could not offer a retail OS, not without cannibalizing hardware sales. If Pro desktops fade, is that still true for that segment? Or could they offer something Xeon only (to keep out commodity laptops) as a legal Hackintosh? Or do certified configurations a la Oculus? If their profit is in mobile, and cloud services, it might help more than hurt. FWIW I like Debian now, and the non-intrusive UI.
