My mind changed as soon as I saw the fact that the cheapest one is 600 bucks. Do you know what kind of a PC can be built for that same price? Just to clear things up, it's not that I love Windows, I just hate how everyone is praising Apple when it doesn't deserve even 1/10th of the praise.
Edit: Also like I said, the reason for Windows dominating is because Gates gave the license to EVERYONE, everyone could make it and put it on their computers no matter what their specs were. Apple dug their own grave with their business plan. |

"Do you know what kind of a PC can be built for that same price?" When you look at a 600$ PC, it's specifications and abilities will be lower or equal to a Mac. That is not counting that the Mac will be made out of better parts. It is true that there are no cheapo Macs, but Apple does not target that market. If you want a computer that cheap, you should buy one and put Linux on it anyway.
As for the last part, if Apple tried to compete with Microsoft by doing the same thing, they probably would not be in business. It is Apple's decision to do what they do that has kept them around. I will stand by my opinion that the only reason that the average person buys a PC with Windows on it is because they don't realize they have options.
