Once and for all, proof that Macs are cheaper than PCs

Let's put to rest the myth that an Apple computer will set you back more than a Windows PC. In fact, it'll cost you less.

    Once and for all, proof that Macs are cheaper than PCs

    Farhad,

    You're proselytizing. The belief that one box is better than another is simply that, a belief. There is no way to prove it and the results can go either way depending on the definition of "better". If you want to believe in the god Jobs by all means do so.

    Why would you want to be stuck with a box that while retaining its residual is becoming increasingly obsolete second by second? Am I correct in saying that in terms of software availability Apple seems to be way behind the curve?

    One of the reasons the PC (all flavours) is so pervasive is that it frees the user from the dictates of the hated IT division. Apple on the other hand just re-establish that bondage.

    One last question:- if Apple is cheaper why has the corporate world largely ignored it?
