Recent news tells us Apple is still struggling to gain market share in the personal computer market. That's too bad. While I have some beefy grieves with Apple (being that I am an IT "expert" and all that), their systems nonetheless beat the proverbial tars out of the typical Windows PC crowd.

Agreed. $800 does buy a lot of PC these days... but the mac mini is a LOT of PC.
Perhaps you're neglecting the $300 worth of software that Apple bundles with their computers or maybe you're neglecting that to give OS parity to Tiger, one would have to get XP Pro... or maybe you're just doing what so many other PC afficinados do and make comparisons based on hard drive size, ram and processor speed to the exclusion of anything else.
The end result is, when you match a PC with the same specs, the PC is about the same... actually a little bit more if you don't build it yourself.
A PC allows you to get more in the areas that are most important to you which makes it more versatile... That is the PCs strength. Its not price as is most often perceived to be.
