Apple write a heck of a lot more software than just OS X. Some of it
is actually quite good.

FWIW I think they've become a software company that uses its software
to sell its hardware. When I bought my computer I bought it for the

had to buy the shiny box with the Apple on the side as that's all
that would run the OS I wanted.
