"It is a shame that MAC wants to screw themselves and cannot see the larger picture.
It is like $14.00 for a cheese burger at one place with a designer wrapper, when you can go next door and get another cheese burger for $1.00 in a plain wrapper. "
But how does a McDonald's plain cheeseburger taste compared to a Red Robin Double Cheeseburger(or your fav burger joint?)...
Yes, Macs cost more. For a true PC workstation, compared to a iMac or even low G5, they cost a decent chunk more. The flip side is, the man hours it takes to deal with Windows issues like spyware, viruses and trojans are very near zero on mac. I work in an enterprise IT department that is Netware/Windows with zero macs. Windows TCO has almost nothing to do with initial cost. That is what the T is for, the long term cost of a system in use for 3 to 5 years.
I write this from my 12" powerbook. I use PCs far more often, however.
