Third, you're ditching apple and its products «cos to you being unable to sync any media player
with a
specific software (iTunes) is the same as having a system - wide block to non-apple products, you're not locked in, apple sells user experience,
packs, bundles, a macbook without osx is just a nice industrial design
example, but that's it, it's only when you add osx, ilife, iwork, that you get to experience what apple sold to you.
