And graphics card vendors havnt made there stuff compatiable because there isnt a decent games to run on a mac, hence its not profitable for them to do this.
That's because people have sense enough not to buy Apple products.

Its just simple business at the end of the day....and if Nvidia did go out of their way to make their graphics cards compatiable with macs, then im sure alot of people/gamers would make the swap.
Correct, but they won't go out of their way because the userbase for mac's will always be miniscule.

what im trying to say is, if software/hardware was made available to both x86 systems and macs then whats stopping people using a mac as you would a pc?
As you said, simple business, if I were a software developer who came up with an idea for some revolutionary bit of software, what would I do? Would I develop it for the market that'll generate the most sales? Or go bankrupt and flog it to Mac users?
