My point is that they're full of crap...if they're so benevolent they should go true open-source and cut prices on their products. I'd love to get an iMac for my kids, but not for $1300 when I can build them a good WinTel machine for 1/2 that.

Their stuff isn't THAT good, either. Exploding battery anyone? They've got a history of quality control problems and let's face it it's not like Apple experts can be found on every street corner. My friend bought an Apple notebook last year, and within 2 months there was a problem with the system board. When he called the Apple Store to get help he got "Bring it back in. It'll be two weeks".
