Yep. Reason? OSX.
How is that a reason to pay so much more for a computer?
Because you want to *use* your computer.
How is it you're exchanging messages with me if OSX is required to *use*
a computer?
Because you're happy with "usually works, sorta".
No I'm not.

An example of "usually works, sorta" is when I send an email to
somebody using Outlook. If that email contains european characters,
such as æ, ø, or å, there's a pretty good chance that Outlook will
replace them with chinese characters. This is because of MS's crappy
implementation of UTF-8. I think this might also be a problem with
Word.
