The number of threads on forums right across the internet prove only one thing - that there are PC lovers and there are Mac lovers, and never the twain shall meet. Different things appeal to different people.
In my case, the thing has to look good ... Mrs T won't have it in the house, otherwise. The promise of an iMac was the only reason I was allowed to buy a new machine five years ago! (incidentally, Mrs T snorted at the screen while I was posting last night and said she bet you couldn't build a PC that looked as pretty as an iMac does
)
There is also the home-building/maintaining aspect ... fair point about the MGF, it was late, I was tired ... you get the point I was making though, not everybody considers being able to build it yourself to be a positive selling point.
Yes, Microsoft has pretty much trounced Apple, for the time being at least, but I still reckon that given a level playing field Mac OS, and the iMac, would fare vastly better against Windows XP than it currently does. M$ has been trying to make its OS more like Mac for years now, precisely because it knows that this is what the customer wants. In that sense, all you hardened XP users have Apple to thank
