Lessee... Why buy a Mini when it's underpowered compared to and more expensive than a Chevy? Why buy steak when hamburger is more lean and costs less per pound? This game can be played ad infinitum. I use Linux at work because I prefer an environment I'm familiar with and it lets me do what I want more quickly. I prefer a Mac at home because I find them easier to use than Windows machines and they come with software I like using. The fact that they can appear unix-like as well is a plus. I use Windows because I have to. The danger with marketing on price (negative) vs. features (positive) is they're risking people carrying things to extremes. If they succeed in making the OS irrelevant, why buy a Windows machine at all vs. Linux? As a software company, they're supposed to be commoditizing the complementary product - hardware. Not the reverse...
