The analogy of iPhone:Android::Mac:PC really holds on this front. Everytime I use my MBP I can't help but feel I get nickle and dimed for little necessary utility apps just to get things done (want to change the acceleration curve on your mouse? That's $20!) -- things that would normally be free in Windows land are $5-$20 in Mac land. On my Windows XP and 7 PCs I can usually get 95% of what I need at $0. The open ecosystem simply fosters a cheaper price point, which is good in some ways for consumers (but bad in other ways) -- but not so great for entrepreneurs.
