For upgrading RAM on a 24" iMac, what's so hard about removing one screw?

Not so sure about that one... I support my sister and her MBP (Macbook Pro). A lot about all-in-one printers are the other functions like fax, scan, etc...
These -all- require a software suite to function properly, and often special drivers (TWAIN for scanning, etc...)
It isn't realistic for -any- OS to have all of these, or all the drivers for any peripherals for that matter.
Speaking of SSDs, the new Gen2 Intel SSDs don't have halogen in them (a green thing), so Apple should be adopting them as an option soon. They stayed away from the Gen1 Intel drives (even though they were by far the best) due to the halogen content.

Sure in OS X you have to install some drivers for some peripherals but that's it. That's where it ends! Chances are you'll never see the word "driver" again, not even in the Apple Software Update. It's all just seamless.

I didn't know Apple stayed away from Intel due to the Halogen content...because i think performance wasn't on par also....

Interesting but i saw that some MLC SSDs like OCZ Vertex Turbo or Crucial M225 and others too, far surpassed the Intel X25-Ms, especially in write performance. Seeing the 2nd gen Intel mainstreams, i cannot wonder why Intel "only" doubled the write speed from 80MBs (1st gen) to 160MBs(current gen) when all the competition is doing 200-210MBs for MLCs.

The random write metric is what counts... performance in this area is what gives the OS and the computer the most speed. Intel SSDs are the pinnacle of performance in this regard for MLCs.
The Legit Reviews article on the Gen2 is quite good and runs it through a number of benchmarks.
It's funny too that you couldn't order an Apple with Intel SSDs - those first gen X25-Ms had Apple written all over them. A superior product, built like a tank, and the highest price tag.
