While that might sound underhanded, if you were running a company like that, how would you do it? For once, I can't fault this intelligent business decision my MS.

When my dad needed to buy a computer, he spent a very long time deciding. He had always had pc's because his firm has a great hook up with dell ( my dad was an acquaintance). But he was sick of dealing with consumer customer support for my moms pc and his laptop. So we went out looking, he checked out hp's, sony's, all windows and he finnaly decided on a macbook base level. He fooled around with it for hours, over the course of a couple of weeks before buying and he is extremly pleased. He knew he could have gotten a pc for 700, but he simply hated the os. This is a guy who's ski jacket is older than I am (im 23) and he got it in a bargain bin at a discount store for around 5 buvks. i have probably had a dozen new ski jackets and pants, atleast one every two years. This is a guy who loves a bargain and gets the best out of it. But apples customer support and ease of use WAS the good deal for him. Now, if you prefer vistas bugs and viruses and tech support from india from people reading off a list, by all means enjoy your purchase. ill pay a premium for quality.

You seem to miss the point. No matter how "tricked out" your windows PC is, if you get a macbook pro for that price you are getting value out of every penny. Im not sure why she would ever need a macbook pro, as she doesnt seem like shes professional at anything except tweeting perhaps, but that is a beast of a computer. Do a part by part comparison of the macbook pro and it is a great value for the equipment, with a slight premium on the operating system, which is fine as it is infinitly better than vista. If you are looking for a cheap computer, sure buy a pc, or better yet a netbook, as most of those people really only need a browser and solitaire. The video editing commercial makes me crack up every time. "its only got 2 gigs" HAHAHA. If you want to do video editing you buy at least a macbook pro. I have a mac pro and everything is blazing fast and simple. And, when ive got spare time, I can play crysis in (shudder) bootcamp on very high settings. Sooo. Have fun with your pc.
