Do 21.5 Imacs come preloaded with operating system? Another words, are they ready to go once they hit my floor (coming from imac store?)

Thanks.

Simply press the power button and enjoy.

On that note, I love it how all Apple products are packaged fully charged. When I bought my first iPod (3G, one with the glowing red letters), I opened it, pressed the play button and the thing lit up like a bloody Christmas Tree.

How can anyone not buy it when they see that?

Yes they do, every one is ready to go. Power up watch the welcome screen, put a few personal details in and you're ready to go.

If you don't get the welcome screen it's probably a used/returned product.

Whoow, this is what I want and expect from contemporary equipment.

With PC, it has always been a different game. Always big unknown with every new computer. Anyway, enough of THAT b*****t! I'm going Apple!

Great thanks to all.

Everything you need and more my friend. From email to editing videos they give you what you need and IT ACTUALLY WORKS like its stated.

Welcome to Mac - you will never go back.

You're good to go with lots of software out of the box.

I love how you call the Apple store the iMac store. Perhaps they should change the name considering the popularity of these new iMacs! :)

Certain pc's can be a chore to set-up for the first time - entering registration codes, product keys, trying to find these keys on the packaging, etc. Like a previous poster said, you'll have to put in some personal data, but not much.

What? PCs may be shipped with a whole lot of OEM crapware but unless you've just built a rig yourself or specifically ordered a machine with no OS preloaded, all PCs come with a preloaded Operating System.

Preloading an OS on a new computer isn't some revolutionary Apple Macintosh-only idea envisioned by Steve Jobs years ago and stolen by Microsoft.
