Quote:Macs aren't really that much more expensive than PCs unless you're comparing a system you build yourself by buying all the components separately. Macs can't really compare with that.
Yes, because of Apple's anticompetitive practices that don't allow anyone else to develop for their machines. (oh yeah, and no, I don't think they're ever cheaper. :) Just like buying a laptop, buying a mac is spending more for less power... (and buying a mac laptop is the worst of both worlds! :D) though maybe with the new Intel CPUs they can begin to catch up power-wise again.)
Quote:And I still don't see the problem with the way the files are organized on the Mac. If it's a really long list you can start typing the name of the program you are looking for and it will go straight to it. It really is a myth that there isn't enough software for Macs as well, unless you are talking about games. There is plenty of software for Macs, and since OS X is open and easy to develop for there are thousands of free programs out there from small developers.
Sounds to me like a worse version of the Windows interface. I know, MacOS came before Windows, but Windows has come a long way... (and Apple didn't invent the graphical OS either, they ripped it off of Xerox)
