Are you then concluding that you shouldn't buy or use a Mac today because of what might happen years from now when/if Macs achieve greater market share?

YOu should not buy a Mac because they are not worth the extra money. Go out and buy four PCs. In case on of them gets a dibilitating virus that renders it useless, you still have three more PC's as back up.

That is the absurdity of the my Mac won't get a virus claim.

That hyperbole.

Similarly equipped (HW & SW) Macs and PCs are fairly close in price. Macs are definitely NOT 3 or 4 times the price.

YOu should not buy a Mac because they are not worth the extra money.

Let's see, I just priced an iMac with an equivalent PC, going on average adult home user wants something full-featured and decently powerful, OEM, small space, wants to do standard stuff with the Internet, virus-free, average office-type stuff, and playing with the home movies and photos, and some average gaming.

The more capable little iMac came out cheaper than the SFF Gateway (and a hell of a lot better looking on the desktop). The big iMac came out cheaper than the Sony, but the Sony has a TV tuner, where the iMac is faster.

Where's that extra money claim?
