Argue all you want about IBM and Apple charging a premium for their
systems, but it is an integrated system. Since you control the hardware environment, you can optimize device drivers, the kernel, etc. for the environment. I was thinking about this the other day in relation to IBM's WebSphere. When did their software start to become more unreliable? When they had to start relying on other companies infrastructures (whether they be hardware or software). Not that those other companies infrastructures are bad, but they are not intimately integrated and do not go through the same groups unit testing.
