If I wanted a computer that I couldn't build/upgrade myself, and which had a relatively a small selection of software and hardware, all while paying 5x as much for PC equivalent performance, I'd buy a a Mac.
Have you ever taken a look at what the components of an Apple are? They are the same as a PC, just that you can't use over-the-counter components. You HAVE TO BUY APPLE.
I like their OS, but I want to build my own PC.
Why do I have to spend $350 for a 500gb HDD in the Mac Pro when I can get a 500GB Western Digital HDD for $85 down the street at the local shop?
All the people that dry hump Apple and shit on PC's and MS are just buying into another stupid company.
If they sold their OS as a stand alone OS that I could put on any computer, I would buy it.
I already have a computer with all the necessary components. I don't need to buy another one that comes in a pale white case with rounded corners and a "magnetic power cable so you don't tare the crap out of your computer when you get up to get some organic milk" power supply. Don't forget the nicely lit up Apply logo on the back of the covers that is no neat, and looks "just rediculos at sunset while parousing the local Birkenstock store".
Do I like Microsoft? No, I don't actually. But XP Home SP2 is running quite well on my computer. I have no complaints really.
Would I buy Vista, No. It's rubbish.
Can I replace XP with OSX 10? NO! NO! NO! I have to become a Hippy, or a musician, or an actor, or unemployed and be seen with my nice little white-neatly-corner-rounded MacBook...or all-in-one iMac...or iRan, or iRaq, or idon'tgiveacrapaboutanything,

Most of the parts are the same. I will give you that upgrading CPU's is near impossible but other than that you can pretty much build one to suit your need unless you want a different exterior etc. Don't take this as an argument as I just want to inform. I was the same way until I did month's of research and switched. I love it, but still have my old PC for gaming. They aren't for everybody so research and do what's right for you.
