(okay.. I'll bite on this to clarify my point)
Even if your ALL points are correct... that still doesn't make Apple a better choice. I built my computer choosing what I WANTED... and who I WANTED to buy from.
I don't want to pay for what Apple wants me to have... I want my cash to go for EXACTLY what I want. Therefor I can spend $xxx on this and $xxx on that and get what my perfectionistic self wants.
This is where I am coming from... not ignorance... I have used Macs as much as PCs... my conclusion is from experience...
You just get more options in the PC world... at a lower price (or a higher price).
I want to see Kill Bill 2 but I think I will wait till the DVD comes out...
Wouldn't the whole movie experience be shattered by viewing such a recording or are camcorders that good now??
Maybe you could come up with a REALITY series of somebody "going to the movies" and market it that way but who is going to be satisfied with a crappy video recording let alone PAY for it?
Are we so pathetic as a people that video recording a movie is a good idea now????
What would Apple be without the "elegant" design of the hardware?
To me it would be an overpriced computer system...
You really have to think hard.... is ease of use worth sacrificing features (is full screen view in the free Quicktime player YET? and... 2 mouse buttons anyone???) and software availability (Linux & Windows--- Max Payne & Photoshop on the same computer.. imagine that).
Why pay $500-$1000 more for a computer and get less...
Maybe once the Mac easy and simple world merges with the PC do everything cheaply world then I will be sold... but right now Apple MACs are just pretty boxes to me. (And I LOVE pretty boxes... don't get me wrong:)
I hope this doesn't sound too anti-Apple but I think we have a long way to go with "personal computing" and that is beyond Apple's proprietary realm.
