So I was just looking at an iMac (not to purchase it), regarding what all comes with it.  If all you did was upgrade your computer to the 27" screen, you paid $2200.  With some further analysis, could you please explain what software "came" with the mac for absolutely zero cost to you, because with what I'm seeing on their website, it looks to me like you have to buy their software, which is what I originally believed.

Also, I looked up all the software you described.  You really gotta be more specific.  The visual studio can range from like $50 to $10,000 depending on the version you get.  The SQL server can change on whether or not you get the $15000 one that covers 25 computers.  Also, you are listing all of this software, are you inferring the mac comes with all of this necessary software for free?  If they came with $1000's of software for free, I'm pretty sure they'd have a little bigger portion of the market.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
