My main qualm is with the MAC prices....the cheapest of the cheap they offer is the "mac mini" and the baseline one is $599. My much much more powerful system that I built cost quite a bit less, even including my nice 20" LCD. Their bottom end stuff is pricey, but their higher end stuff is just insane. Who pays that much for a computer? If one did a self-build for the $$ that a higher end MAC costs....you could build an absolutely incredibly powerful system + a HUUUGE LCD....and still be within budget. I consider it cheating that their OS is tailored to their own specific line of about 4 variations of computer. When the range of hardware you offer encompasses about 10 options that your own company designed, it better darn well work perfectly. Think of the logistics of what MSoft has to accomplish with drivers and hardware support....when you consider all of that, its astonishing how well Win7 works. (and all of the free Linux distro's as well)
Studies have shown that 33% of MAC households make over 100k a year....vs. only 21% of PC homes.
Don't even get me started on the new MAC commercials. They are getting very old.....
