To: HAL9000
According to Apple, the installed base of Mac OS X has grown to over 14 million as of January...

How is that supposed to be supporting evidence for this claim you made:

Most folks know that Macs are better than Windows PC, but said that Macs were too expensive for their budget.

Do you have any supporting evidence for your claim that most computer users know "Macs are better than Windows PC" or did you pull that out of your MacArse (or should that be IArse)

I'll go against HAL on this one. Most people don't even know there are alternatives to Windows. I've seen people shocked when they saw Linux or Mac machines, saying "But it's not Windows, how can a computer run without Windows?" To them, "Windows" is synonymous with "Computer," just like "Explorer" is synonymous with "World Wide Web" given those I've seen who were surprised you can surf the WWW with something besides IE.

OTOH, a lot of people have been introduced to the concept of other systems by buying iPods, as lots of PC iPod buyers are switching to Mac.
