I agree, price is very subjective. When your machine is your main work tool and you are paid reasonably well the cost of it becomes pretty much insignificant. What is important is how well it suits your needs. I had some stability problems with my laptop and I just bought new one and gave the old one away to family because the financial loss it was causing me was on the order of the price of new one. I would prefer to listen to what kind of problems the author had that would prompt him to switch to Windows and how it affected his life/work positively instead of just complaining that the price is too high.
