with apple you pay a premium for a more streamlined user experience and increased reliability... with PCs you are able to take advantage of a highly competitive market to get excellent prices and magnitudes more software choices... but there are drawbacks as well... such as conflicts, viruses, and general complexity in the system.

There's no integrated platform bullshit or anything, because this is not OS9 anymore this is Unix. Today you can run Win on a Mac as easily as you can run OSX on a PC, technically Apple just selling you regular PC's with a shiny Apple logo on them. If you open your "Mac" to take a look if i'm right or wrong - you'll be very disappointed to find regular average PC components inside, and not of the best quality btw (except two models only: Mac Pro and MacBook Pro) because they're the only ones that built from PC components slightly above the average. Shortly, Apple selling ridiculously overpriced PC computers and people are afraid to realize this because of how embarrassing it is for a mac zealot to find out something like this. Some Mac users have already figured this out, so now they're embarrassed to admit it or even believe what they saw. This is amazingly hilarious, and the funniest thing that there's nothing really new about this and it's been like that for couple of years already.
