I've been saying this all along. The stuff is *****. Nice ergonomics and great when it works (software and hardware incompatibility issues not withstanding)
What hardware and software incompatabilities are you talking about?

Example
Bought a bluetooth adaptor for one of my older ti-books, opened box, took out adaptor, stuck it in, computer says "hey look, bluetooth adaptor, were's another device that I can pair with, pointed it at my bluetooth phone and it started syncing my addresses so I took the time to look at the included manuals, 2 of them chock full of info on how to get this thing running under Windows, Oh yeah, out of the 15 or so pages there was a half a page for Apple installation, it said plug it into your computer.

2 weeks goes by and my COO buys the same adaptor, we spend 1 1/2 hours to get it to work in his Windows laptop.

Software incompatability? Please clarify, do you mean that more software is available for Windows? I've asked this before, name 1, just 1 commercially available piece of software that the average consumer could need that does not either have a Mac version or comparable alternatives.

I've been using Macs for 15 years and PC's nearly as long.

I have consistently been impressed with the quality and ease of use of my Macs and just as consistently frustrated and dissapointed with my PC's.

And again, PC's are NOT cheaper when you compare systems of comparable performance and feature sets.
