That could be part of it, though if they did it they would undermine their hardware sales... and I don't think Apple wants to be a software company.
Maybe they figure they can take over enough of Microsoft's share by doing both hardware and software and keeping the profit from both. If they did just the OS LOTS of people would switch I'm sure, but like you said then they have a huge QC issue with devices and drivers.

That makes a lot of sense. But if you're going to attack Microsoft for being bloated and living in the dark ages, then try to play on a level playing field. I'd rather be able to fully customize everything I want in a computer and use a good operating system.
I wonder if OS X would bloat if it had to support all the hardware and legacy that Microsoft is required to support? As I said, Ubuntu had no problems with the devices on my laptop running from the live CD.. so what's the deal!!
