I just wish that they would do something about the low end of their product line. I lost a possible convert to Mac yesterday because Apple simply does not offer a low price computer with the specs she needed. Seriously, when I cannot recommend a Mac over a computer from Dell which has a slower processor but four times the hard drive for a person who surfs the web, does email, writes the occasional letter, and looks at and prints digital photos because the Mac Mini is twice the price for components she doesn't need there is a problem.
More and more of the computer buying market is moving to the lower end processors with a lower price because it does everything that they need to do, and if Apple keeps up their pretentious better then that attitude they are going to have a hard time growing their market share.
As much as I love my Mac I cannot recommend spending twice as much money for components that are not needed. Even if it is a better OS.

but the OS is one of the components!
Software is just as much worthy of paying for as hardware.
