I have been an omni-platform user, Windows, OS X and Linux user for some time now. I love different things about each platform and loathe just as much as I like about all three. The release of the Mac Mini at MacWorld really made me wonder if Apple made good move in jumping into the low range market. I decided the best way to see was to compare the Mini to my primary box, a similar system in specifications and price.

... it's about the SOFTWARE! Apple's software in general is _VERY_ high quality, follows user interface guidelines and is designed for ease of use.
Everyone just compares hardware in numbers against Mac mini and forget that *software* is where the real value is.
It ships with great set of multimedia appls: iMovie, iDVD, iTunes, iPhoto, GarageBand.
Also two games included: Nanosaur 2 and Marbleblast gold
Fully-featured, altought already a bit aged, but still very good for home usage office suite: AppleWorks.
Great webbrowser, email app, and lots of other goodies.
Not talking about The Great Operating System!
PC-solutions cannot offer any of these for the same price. Not really even with higher price. It always falls to usability.
