Where do you live Viktoras? Here in Australia the "Macs are more expensive" myth has been debunked for years now, provided one compares machines with similar specs.
As an amusing sideline to this thread, CNET is running a poll asking when people plan to switch to Vista: <http://news.com.com/Vista+steals+the+show/2100-1016_3-6154632.html> The poll is still open, but here are the results to date: How soon do you plan to move to Microsoft's latest OS? I'm sticking with the Mac--or moving there soon. 50.8% Windows XP is going to last me a good, long time. 20.9% Whenever I buy my next PC. 20.8% I'm standing in line right now to buy it. 7.5% Total votes: 13540 Cheers, Sarah On 2/2/07, Viktoras Didziulis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Simply because Macs are so expensive... I am still dreaming about buying one ;-). I have used Apple once, in an international conference on multimedia tools... No one from people I know own Apple. Once I asked at the university about availability of Macintosh computer and the answer was - a friend of friend of mine has it... Situation in the USA of course may be quite different (in favor of Macs) from Europe or the rest of the world. But when we speak about an ordinary desktop user its Windows by default...

I hear that knee-jerk 90% figure mentioned all the time. I don't think it's accurate anymore. Anyway, many of that 90% are CNC drilling machines, point of sale terminals and imbedded systems, not desktops.
