An Astin Martin is a better car than my Chevy. It also costs 130,000, compared to my chevy's 16,000.
My Chevy has gotten me every place I want to go. My Toshiba Laptop at 850 bucks gets me everywhere I want to go with XP. Is a MacBook nicer? Sure! Is it worth the extra money? Not to me.
Apple is worth it to me. I usually top $2000 selling my used Apple desktop on eBay when I upgrade. Try that with a cheap PC.
It's an operating system, not a religion.
It's a matter of preference and it's nice we actually have a choice between two distinctly different OS.
