    Anything pre-packaged will save time.

    pc's come pre-packaged with all kinds of shit that really just ain't worth a shit...and anything that it is, you have the option to go buy the full version...including the operating system

    You guys act like if somebody came out with some new hardware for a Mac that it will somehow miraculously work with your system without you having to lift a finger to get it working. I call complete and utter bullshit. Every system has a breaking-in period.

    I mean if you have a Mac, and a new piece of hardware comes out later. Your Mac ain't gonna know what to do with it until you tell it to. Just like a Windows PC.

    ohhh...that's deep man...did you stay up all night to come up with that?

    :imagestor

    but there is some advantage to having the software & hardware coming from the same place...
