I was about to buy a MacBook when it was just released, it seems like
a bargain. But after looking over the many features that would not be
usable (I run only free software), I drop it from my list.

Apple, like Microsoft, has released some free software. But they are
non-important components that we actually have free alternative which
are better technically. The two companies refuse to free any important
software.
