That is, of course, a matter of personal opinion. You get what
you pay for, as my dad often says. Buy junk, get junk. And, of
course, pricy as it might be, it does not change the fact that people
are buying it at a rate that should actually alarm Microsoft share
holders. Numbers speak for themselves. Ballmer's problem is he even
contradicts himself in his own speech. Personally, I'd rather spend
the money on a Mac and know I'm getting Apple quality than buy a PC
clone half the price that has inferior hardware and, of course, is
also running Windows. Again, though, that comes down to choice.
