The PC world is rife with that. Buy a PC, any flavor and you need A Wifi card, ethernet card, sound card, etc. Get this software now you need this card with a new hardware driver and don't forget; you can call someone to install it if the instructions are written in (pick a language).
Now don't get me wrong, Macs have issues and Apple hasn't been nearly as open as of late as they'd like you to believe. If it were not for Airmail I simply wouldn't have a PC.
