Sorry apple, but textedit is not a word processor. I can't believe what a ripoff. I won't be buying a new computer from Mac.

Windows computers don't really come with a Word processor either, unless you think WordPad is considered one. Most computers that come with Microsoft Word are usually just trial versions that will run out after 3 months. Microsoft Office which contains Word costs over $100.
You can pick up iWork for $80 which is similar to the basic Microsoft Office, or you can find a Mac version of Microsoft Office.
Also, you can't buy a computer from Mac, but you can buy a Mac computer from Apple.

Actually they do, they're just trial versions. Try this freeware if you can't afford M$ Office or iWorks http://www.neooffice.org/
