sorry, but it is not only a numbers game. The underlying guts of BSD unix are less vulnerable than the mess that is the MS OS. As for cost, if you compare apples to apples, and you know what you want to do with your machine, you can make a proper comparison. Most people know neither. One of the few areas where Macs are behind the curve is hardcore gaming due to the drivers for the latest/greatest cards/chipsets. But a "typical" user is better served by an iMac than a Dell imho. And if you want to do anything creative (video, audio, etc), Mac still wins. Just look at the issues invovled in setting up a digital audio workstation on the two platforms. If you go wintel, you need to pay close attention to the chipset and other hardware. You get a Mac, and it is just going to work. btdt.
