Macs are really not expensive, they last longer for the most part, it's called quality control. They are not as confusing to elders as Vista is. I know first hand from watching people use a variety of operating systems. Linux is not good if tuned right, it's way more confusing once something goes wrong it's not an option, and Solaris, gimme a break, ain't there yet, but better these days and has the same problems as Linux with package management, people don't want to have to learn how to use the command-line, there is no graphical package management for Solaris worth two cents.
