Forgive me if I'm biased (I own an iBook), but you're actually comparing Apples and Oranges here - for starters, the Dell is more expensive and far bigger, I won't even go into all the other details.

Another silly decision to form a closed market. 900/1800 in Europe came first, and the US decided to go for 1900.
You get what you ask for. Go figure...
Runoff
In traditional runoff elections in the U.S.A., if no one has achieved a majority of the
votes in the first round of voting, then another election is held, with only two candidates
allowed to run. Does result in the winner having a majority. Unfortunately, the extra
election usually doubles the cost of the overall election, is brutally hard on the
candidates and their supporters, and, since a special election is usually necessary,
results in a much smaller voter turnout in the runoff election. Can be easily avoid by
using the IRO system.

Windows people have been paying for their betas for years - go ahead and punish Apple for being honest, at least _they_ tell you it's a beta!
