You give preaty good arguments Andrus.
I definetly agree with you, i do not want to buy any mac at all.
This is really not the point.
My point is, if i were a judge, i will NOT accept any of your arguments,
the license says only mac, and means it.
This is not developer or human question, this point of view is clean.
The legal point of view is also clean "at least for me" and says "Non-Mac is
forbidden".
Sako.
