Don't misunderstand me. I want a Mac, but at this time it's just not cost effective for me.
If American cars are not junk, then Windows is an excellent OS.

Re. the cost issue, I think your reasoning is faulty. Yes, the purchase cost of a Mac will set you back a bit more. However, how much is your time worth?

When I look at my friends using Windows, I am amazed at the time they spend trying to figure things out, downloading spyware, virus protection, updates.

My guess is a Mac pays for itself within a week to 2 months of purchase, depending on your hourly pay rate .
