At launch event of Leopard, Steve Jobs made a joke about Vista and said "Leopard will come in 3 editions, all of them will cost $129". (He was making fun of the fact that Vista had like 6 editions)
Well guess what? Microsoft has different editions that disable certain functions (like business edition cannot use media center etc) BUT SO DO Apple but with APPLE, it's ON THE HARDWARE SIDE SO it's MORE EXPENSIVE.
Example:
Vista Home Premium = $110
Vista Business = $250
That's about a $140 difference.
Now compare to Apple:
Macbook Pro 2.4 = $1899
Macbook Pro 2.6 = $2500
That's over a $500 difference.
And you say Apple is better than Microsoft.
