That is, if you don't count in all the enterprise PCs, but we're talking about the privately owned here, right?

Many friends have Macs, they are a bitch to work on when you come from MS, usually get lost within minutes.

..seriously? So when you were born you already knew how to use a PC? There's a learning curve, but it's not as dramatic as you would think, in the end everything makes much more sense and is way more practical.

Considering the so praised compatibility - W7 does the same thing: It loads and updates all drivers automatically. Unlike apple, where you must by from Apple, you just have to make sure there's W7 sticker on the box.
If you ignore it, your fault.

I work with Win7 as well (64bit) and although it's times better than Vista, it's still a biatch to run and has the same appalling issues with memory managing, but worse than all, it's still based on an unnecessary punctured OS which can be easily damaged.
And you can buy software for Macs from everywhere, most (if not all) software producers now make it Apple compatible, which is way easier thanks to the use of Intel processors.

Nobody expects non Apple HW to work automatically on Macs, right? Same thing.

Wrong. As mentioned above, apart from a couple of brands that deliberately do not support Apple (Dell above all, cos they do their own hardware), everything else you plug to a Mac will work, no chase for drivers and time wasting.

XP is nowhere close to W7 - xp was somewhat ok, but generally a bitch, especially the x64 version.
Now tell me, have you ever worked on a W7 machine?
|
I do regularly, it's better, but not as good as Lion or Snow Leopard.

Considering benchmarks: I just raced a 2011 iMac with cinebench, that thing was >10% short in all disciplines - And my HW is not that shiny.

give us specs of the 2 machines, otherwise what you said here doesn't mean a thing.

Bottom line:
You buy what you want Pears or Apples, but this whole iReligion thing, with arguments which just aren't true, pm off so bad.
Considering design: I think they look friggin ghey, but then again that's just me. De gustibus non est disputandum .

well, considering that you're a person that defines something he doesn't like as "gay", I can't suppose to expect much more of a mature approach to the subject.

What a bargain.

they're not selling you a bargain, they're selling you a prime quality machine made with quality components and performing to unmatched levels.

What figures are you using? You can have never more liquidity than a Federal Bank you own, they can press as much money as they want(not in reality as it comes with certain sideffects, but anyway)

obviously you have quite a confused concept of how monetary systems work
read above, I don't think you have an understanding of monetary value..
