Re: What are Apple buyers going to do.
"But in both cases, non-free (as in beer) software has been bundled with the hardware, for which you can get no refund. I have explained the difference between the two situations above."
OS X is free. Indeed, OS X upgrades are free to users of earlier systems. So the cases don't match. You're not buying software you don't intend to use. (And you don't have to use OS X if you don't want to; I have a Mac Mini server running Linux. But I didn't pay extra for OS X when I bought it.)
