Mac hardware to run OSX is only expensive if you are used to buying
really cheap gung pao kiddy boxes with no horsepower. As soon as you
buy a dell/sony/gateway with any real sack (to run all the programs u
must have to be a designer) you are paying comparable prices.

Yup, that's theory vs. reality. "
I strongly disagree. XP is a relatively good operating system.
Linux is a PITA to install for novices and OS X only runs on one
vendor's expensive hardware. There was no viable alternative to
Windows for the past decade but now that we have choice, we are
seeing people exercise their right to move.
That's not to say XP is perfect and people have learned... once
bitten, twice shy - so, Vista anyone?
The Windows platform IS dying. Consumers are not blindly upgrading
hardware anymore to run the latest OS. More people are understanding
that they only need a text editor and web browser, they no longer
_desire_ all the features advertised to them.
This is the Market at work, with a healthy dose of anti-competitive
regulation against MSFT.
