You can by Mac OS X here. It's 10.6, not 10.9. Does that invalidate anything? Since this is the first time you've ever brought up a specific version in your argument, I would say no.
But he's not talking about stealing anything. He's telling you he made an omelet. He used a pan that the egg seller doesn't support, who cares? If the omelet came out well, it came out well, and you can expect he knows how to make omelets.
Things to upgrade:
edit: changed the RAM from DDR3 to DDR2 and added like to Snow Leopard disk.
I know an iOS developer who develops entirely on a hackintosh PC. It is very much possible. All you need is a $30 Snow Leopard disc and you could be rocking Mac OS on your current PC. Instructions. (Try here if you have a GTX 400/500 series card.)
It's gonna take a lot more effort than just using a regular mac, but it's fun to learn it and doesn't incur the cost of a pricey new machine. I would recommend installing it on its own drive though, partitioning can get kind of janky when you are learning.

"I see Windows 7 Ultimate as the standard Windows 7 version, and if you want to save some money, you can actually remove some features to lower the price to one of two lower tiers. If you think about it this way, Apple essentially forces you to buy the most expensive version of their OS: their "ultimate" version, if you will."
How can this be true when Apple's OS is $35 (with a $30 upgrade to Lion in a few weeks), And Windows 7 Ultimate is between $250 and $300?
It seems to me that the Mac OS X experience is a far greater value in terms of OS pricing. This has to count for something in terms of overall cost.

You can get it at the store no problem the day of or if you want to make things easy on yourself, you can pre-order it on Amazon.
Heck, you can get a copy for $24.99 on Amazon.
If you can add $0.01 to that you can get it shipped free. Don't pirate the thing dude.

You should be able to buy this copy of OSX SL and restore.
Can you use Amazon?

No, but you can buy boxed retail copies of OS X (Snow Leopard now, Lion soon). I suppose what you do with it after that is your own business, but installing it on a non-Apple machine is a violation of the license.
edit: e.g., on amazon
do you have an intel mac? you should try to upgrade to snow leopard.

>Apple sells OSX only with their laptops. If you want that OS legally, you have no other option
Oh really? Then what is this?
> Apple usually has solid tech, like Retina, SSDs, very high battery life, thin design, lightweight.
I never said they didn't. I said you can find a comparable computer from a different manufacturer for at least $200 cheaper. They use the same hardware as everyone else, so why the price difference?
>often before competition does
Is that why they were almost two full years behind in adding GPS support to their phones? Or why they still don't support Flash, effectively barring customers from accessing 30% of websites on the internet? Or maybe that's why they are currently being sued for stealing the patents of at least three other companies? Gee, they sound like they are way ahead of the curve.
>The name also has value, Aviators with the Ray-Ban logo on the lenses cost more than those without.
People who buy Ray-Ban's are just as silly as Apple fan-boys. Don't get me wrong, they have all the right in the world to be dumb. But that doesn't mean I can't call them out on it.
This is what I did:
I lost my Snow Leopard DVD a while back. I needed to reinstall OSX on my macbook. I bought a Universal [DVD] (https://www.amazon.com/version-Leopard-computer-processor-required/dp/B001AMHWP8) for 10.6.3. Installed it then downloaded Mavericks from the App Store, then followed instructions here to create a USB installer for Mavericks.
You may be able to download it from other sources, if you do, just search for 'OS X 10.6.3 or 10.6.7'.
The DVDs that come with your Mac are 'grey' discs. They only have drivers for that specific system. So if you order them, make sure they are universal or they don't mention 'grey' discs.
Here you go.
Apple has no official download method (at least no HTTP-facing method) for any of their original OS versions, other than the Mac-only App Store download.
For Macbook/Pro discs, they are labeled "Applications Install DVD" or "Mac OS X Install DVD". You need the latter to reinstall OS X. Again, if you are missing that disc, you can call Apple for a replacement or simply buy it online at Apple or Amazon.

np
Sierra = free upgrade
So exactly as I said. 20 to 35 dollars. 20 from Apple, 35 on Amazon.
