Apple's Bountiful Revenues Are Bigger Than Ever
Mac in fact offers great flexibility in hardware (PowerMac). The MB/MBP/iM have included many of the items the windoze user will need to add to become functional. Many other H/W capabilities are added with FW/USB.
Mac software choices are many (but you are right, not as many numerically - the VAST majority of Windoze software being poorly written, poorly implemented, and just plain garbage). You convienently forget that the Mac will ALSO run all of that windoze garbage (try running Mac software on your PeeCee!). Most software for the Mac (NOT "MAC") is elegant and far more intuitive.
Windoze does not offer the compelling "whole" of integrated cal/address/email (which I use DAILY in my work), along with search, backup, one-touch preview, and on, and on, and on...
Finally, the cost of comparable machines are equal - please don't continue that garbage that Macs are more expensive... compare, well, apples to apples. Much literature has been written about the cost of ownership as well as head to head costs for machines - Mac ALWAYS wins (these articles written by PeeCee oriented mags primarily).
I just have to doubt you even own a Mac (much less use one) when you state the only difference is a BIOS chip. You, my friend, do NOT know about the Mac "way". The differences are VERY profound.
I, too, own both a Mac (several), and a Pee Cee (forced to by my Employer). The PC is used minimally as I just can't STAND using it - the lack of usability, the instability, the loss of functionality is PROFOUND when I have to use the PC. I do use it because IT at my employer forces one to allow for certain software (security) to be installed on any computer accessing certain areas in the network, and I don't want that software installed on my Mac - even on the Parallels side...
