So I summarize: there are more windows pc's than macs, therefore are higher target for viruses, there are more software and developers for pc's, therefor higher chance of getting software conflicts. windows is more open os for software, thus allowing an insane more amount of programs and more chances for conflicts. macs' ONLY saving grace when it comes to less system crashes is because its os is closed and have such a minute and scrutenized number of programs. the day that mac os goes open and more public for developers is the day mac os will see just as many crashes and headaches for itself. if there was a day macs got up to the same number of users as windows pcs, i wonder which system will THEN be more problematic with viruses, crashes, headaches, etc. THAT day would be the true test. right now these commercials prove nothing to me.

Lately most of my clients look for destkop pc's under the $800 pricerange. For the past 3 or so years, I have recommended Dell because of their online deals. The ability to customize/upgrade on most of the desktop system's components via their website is a very convenient feature... especially for those who want the "feel" of building their own desktop (albeit in a very limited way) yet not require the know-how of actually piecing said components together.

... excuse me while I catch my breath from ROFLMAO. I've always wondered what a comparison chart would look like when you throw price out the window - and now I know. I agree with the_one111: save that $1000 on buying your family food, clothes, a vacation or even another computer. Apple does not make computers for the majority of the population who factor in cost as an important component during a computer purchase... and they don't need to. Apple only needs to get a fraction of the population to pay the Apple tax to be profitable. They are comfortable in this position and that's why I don't believe they care to lower their prices anytime soon.
