It's a huge PITA for sure, but it can be done. I honestly don't think the retards are smart enough to figure it out, nor would they buy a macshit product running linux. The only good thing about macs is their trackpad and that's about it. They're pretty much way overpriced paperweights out of the box. MS should release a linux version of MS Office and then Apple would truly be fucked. MS Office is the only reason I still use a mac and not a linux machine (I am in consulting so clients are locked into it but other than that everything else runs on linux with almost no issues). |

Most of the tools we need are *nix based, but we have to maintain MS compatibility (Excel is a big one) for our clients. Macs give us the best of both worlds. |

Apple calls home constantly though and the phone would probably end up icloud locked when they try to set up. Worthless at that point, macs wouldn't know. |
