[Still Thinking]

I think what would amaze and irritate them is that the bulk of the code and processor time is dedicated to the UI, and not whatever task the program is supposed to perform (excepting programs where the UI IS the function, like media players).

I recently got a new Dell Dimension 1100 series box through a corporate purchasing agent.

That's one thing that really gets me about the Mac/PC comparisons. People say "I can get this Dell for $600, and it's specced-out better than the Mac." Yeah, but the Dell is a real piece of junk with crap video and no ability to upgrade. Yes, a mini and iMac also have built-in video, but at least it's decent video (even the Intel GPU on the mini is able to run the GPU-accelerated eye candy of OS X).
