Advice Is this any good?

Well I'm sure there are apps that can't run on a Mac so your point is a bit daft.

A mac running apple os.
old ones might be before they could run windows also

Run Facetime was my response - which should have been the end of it because it can't do it.

Yet this discussion had continued to run and run.

You're missing the point though, you said you could make an old PC do what a Mac could. The answer to that is quite simply that it cannot. It matters not that its proprietary sometimes that why people use and continue to use Mac's with MacOS. The Facetime app is the easiest way to end that point.

It doesnt matter whether facetime is consumer focused or otherwise, PC's can't run it. End of story.

When ishiney things dominated the phone market that probably was a good argument. Android is now larger with over 51% of the global market and growing.

It probably could actually if you wanted to go down the Hackintosh route.

I find it a lot easier to tell the disciples of the shiny that I know to use something cross-platform like Hangouts however, which my PC from 2008 is running fine. Can't do the background blur stuff, and CPU usage is in the 80's throughout, but it bloody does it
