Please don't confuse Liverpool and Manchester. Xen was saying Linux is free, as in you can go and download it for free right now. No money has to change hands to get Linux. Free. You said, so is OS X. But it isn't, you either need to buy a Mac to get it included or as Smithy said, you might be able to /buy/ it from an Apple store. I don't see how you can legally aquire OS X without spending any money. Therefore, not free. ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘

The cost of "free" os x development is factored into the premium-priced hardware. This is why Apple is dead set against people trying to run it on non-apple hardware. Foolishly IMO. ---- "Apple Pay accepted at up to 100,000 Coca-Cola machines"

I am currently running OS X Mavericks. I can get the upgrade to Yosemite from the App Store. I do not have to pay money for it. My hardware is old (yj). bastard by name bastard by nature

Did you have to buy a Mac to get OS X Mavericks? I'm not doubting there's a free upgrade. It's just not free to get to that point and can't be compared to Linux as being free. ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘

No, when I bought the computer it came with (thinks...) Snow Leopard? Dunno, it's a mid 2010 Mac, and my memory doesn't go back that far. bastard by name bastard by nature

Over 4 years ago. Big deal. Early upgrades were cheap, but IIRC Mavericks was free. certainly compared to Windows, not compared to free-but-no-one-other-than-geeks-and-tightarses-want-to-use-it Linux bastard by name bastard by nature

But you had to buy a Mac to get OS X. Not free. ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘

I could still be using the original OS X. That wouldn't be free. But the (recent) upgrades have been. You cannot run Linux on thin air. You have to buy/build a computer. Not free. It might be cheaper than a Mac, but that's the price you pay for a free OS. And the thread started as Windows-is-now-free. If you haven't got a PC, you will still need to buy one to run Win10. But if you already have a PC you can upgrade to Win10 for free. Bit that's already the case for OS X. That is all. Imma dun. bastard by name bastard by nature

Still wrong. To be able to get the current free OS X upgrades you had to spend some money to get the original OS X you had by buying a Mac. Obviously hardware to run it an OS isn't free, but Apple aren't giving away OS X for free, you have to buy a Mac. ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘

Yeah but once you've bought the £20 rPi to run Linux or £2500 iMac to run OSX then it's free. So it's basically the same thing. Right? , , , , , , , , , , `' (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) \ \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) ''`>-,--”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---- ,'.*''`

Well that's disappointing. Making Win10 free for everyone (including pirates) was one of the smartest things MS have done for a long time. This pretty much negates that entirely. , , , , , , , , , , `' (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) \ \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) ''`>-,--”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---- ,'.*''`
