Apple understood software/hardware and how to marry the two together (in a way that the general public wanted to use) if it was easy, Microsoft or someone in the Linux world with hardware would be further long but they’re not.

Combining hardware and software the OS was done by many companies in the 1980s because if you wanted to sell something you had to do both and it’s been well over 36 years no one has really stepped up.

Apple first of all, knows their customers. When a main selling point of AIO is transparent azzure CRT case ... you know this kind of customer doesn't need options.

Just give 'em ATI rage and tell them they have best workstation for graphics.
