You forgot that the Mac runs OS X, which the Dell can't do and the Mac
now can run Win XP for those who need it thus making it a more versatile
machine for the person with mobile computing needs.

included in the Dell? Things that are also on the Mac?

So maybe it's a wash;) Then again, the Dell does have stuff the Mac
can't touch:
"Anti-Virus/Security Suite (Pre-installed) PC-cillin Internet Security:
AntiVirus, Firewall, Spyware removal 24-months"
LOL! But hey... I hear we can run that stuff now;)
Could it be that your, once again, trolling? Yes, it could very well be.
