They buy the computer with Mac OS X installed, so they take a

And so they should if they have an open mind. But that is not the

That is the point; they don't have an open mind, so they don't buy
the
Mac in the first place.

Actually they do have an open mind. They don't care. For a PC user a
Mac is just a computer using a Socket 775 CPU (or Xeon for the Mac
Pro).
They couldn't care less about cuteness, style, etc. They want to
computer to function. Buy a stylish case if you want style. They are
comparing ram, cpu, hard drive(s), video card, etc. Whichever has the
better performance for the dollar wins.

Only you're wrong, because half of all Mac purchases are previous PC
users. Oops.

That is great. OS X is winning people over. But that is not the
subject being discussed here. My point is that if Macs were good
hardware value, Windows users would flood Apple stores and snap them up.
I'm talking about people using a machine for Windows only.

People using machines for Windows only want cheaper computers. Boohoo...
Really, who cares?

And Apple users want more expensive prices? You can't have it both ways
JR. EVERYBODY wants lower prices.
