They still have fewer buttons though; PCs have been shipping with three-button (clickable mousewheel) mice for a long time now, while Mac mousewheels aren't buttons. And yes, the iMac was for people who don't like computers, but I wouldn't say that that doesn't mean it shouldn't be criticized for its problems...

The Mac mouse does have a clickable mousewheel. On top of that the mousewheel can scroll in any of the compass directions as opposed to just vertically like standard PC mice.

I find this very hard to believe... but even so, you say it yourself: since you cannot make a Mac yourself and must buy one from Apple, prices ARE higher. PCs, unlike macs, are an open platform (and that's a good thing).

Although you do have to buy your computer from Apple, you can buy a barebones computer and then add parts from 3rd party manufacturers. Pretty much everything sans the motherboard can be replaced. I might even be wrong about the motherboard not being replaceable, but I've never looked into it so I could be wrong.

Hmm... hit key combo and then select part of screen, or hit key and then paste into image editor and select (cut out) part of screen (and resave)... doesn't seem THAT much more complex...

... wait, using Word as an image editor? Huh? Even MS Paint is better at that!

Using Word is the way someone told me how to do it. I tried to use Paint but there is no crop tool in Paint so it was pretty useless.

That fake Windows that was emulated? Nowhere near fast enough. However, the new setup is not that. Since new Macs use x86 architecture, they can flat out RUN Windows at full speed. One just needs to install it, and Apple provided a special bootloader software so that when one starts the computer they can select which OS to use.

Exactly. It isn't emulation anymore, which was a huge problem with the old Virtual PC program. I was able to play games in Virtual PC, but they didn't run all that well. Apple switching to Intel solved a lot of problems, including comparing processor speeds. Now you can pretty much say that a 3GHz PC processor is that same speed as a 3GHz Mac processor if the PC uses the Core Duo.
