1 Price, you can get a Mac Mini for $599. People complain about the specs and then when you show them a more powerful model they complain about the price. How much processing power do you need to surf the Internet, check emails and listen to MP3s?
2. Usability, the Mac OS is clearly better than Windows, Vista has ripped it off in several places. Just look at how many systems have ripped off Expose, Mac OS had it long before anyone else.
3. Security, There were 10,000+ viruses for Windows last year alone (don't ask me if that includes trojans, worms, etc). For OS X you can count the number of vulnerabilities on the fingers of one hand and it's been out there for over 5 years now. Most of the serious ones require physical access. Anyone connecting a Windows box to the Internet without a ton of 3rd party security is asking for trouble, just look at the
number of 'my computer is infected with a load of crap' threads, many of these have had trouble even with good firewalls and AV.
