But its Apple's intellectual property, so they can do with it as they please. That's just how it goes in a (relatively) free market.
Intellectual property of what? When I look at the hardware it looks like general hardware you would buy in a computer store. Hard drives, RAM, and nVidia and ATI graphics cars. The connectors for the monitors look to have standard DVI inputs. I would like the option of buying just the OS.
Even if I had the money, I'd never pay that much for a PC. For that price, I could build an Uber-computer with terrabytes of space, Gigs of RAM, have different OS to choose from, getting more safety/cleanup programs than even Apple could provide, and could still get myself a nice cheap compact car.
It's not a PC, that computer is designed for business. High end video editing, high end photo processing. If someome buys that for everyday use they need to be shot.

Yeah, no kidding, that's just ridiculous.
Macs have always been way over priced compared to their PC counter parts. I really don't see what the big deal is with them. I guess if they are "easier" to operate for the average bear that doesn't take time to learn about tech, that's why people get them. I for one would rather have something that I can configure however I want, and have lots of programs for, than a computer that's sealed shut with a few programs made by Apple and is way overpriced. But hey, most people don't know the difference between a graphics card and a CPU, and Macs look "hip", so they buy them.

The OS is definately their intellectual property. If they don't want to sell it to you without the hardware, they don't have to in this market.
