No, it's because it's a WORKSTATION. Spec a Dell workstation up the same and guess what... it's £3,561.

What you do get is much better support for your computer.
Example: My wife's MacBook (quite old, out of warranty) developed a fault, she dropped it off at a Mac store, got a phone call the next day, picked it up, no cost to her
In the PC world is there anything like that? No cost? You'd ring up Dell or similar, get an Indian person who is reading from a script, have to wait days for it to picked up, a week for it to be fixed, and days for it to be redelivered. I may be wrong, but no mainstream PC manufacturer can touch this.
I think she got lucky. Not heard of anything like that before.
I know someone in America who got a virus on her MacBook, she took it in...
Store guy: "Erm but Macs dont get viruses"
Her: "Yes they do!"
*Mac employee goes off with MacBook and comes back 10mins later*
Store guy: "Sign this and we'll give you a replacement"
What it was is a disclosure agreement saying she had to agree that she would not tell anyone about her Mac getting a virus, as officially Apple like to pretend Macs dont get viruses. If she didn't do that they would not replace it.
I found it amusing that you felt the need to take this opportunity to go off topic and attempt to increase the size of your e-penis.
Yes you can.

Take it the op has never used a macintosh, then.

Not strictly true to the best of my knowledge but the ways to do it aren't exactly suitable for discussion on the forums, have a search though and you may find it interesting.
So we assume from this story she didn't sign it then?
You completed destroyed any constructive point of view and respect from your arguments when you described OS X as "limited".

Sounds illegal and also like BS.

The Apple will hold its value, a PC is like a Citroen worthless after 2 days of ownership.

You have to be doing something seriously wrong to get infected on a Mac, chances are that she was doing something she was not supposed to, you have to go out of your way to get them, for example the iWork virus.
It is limited compared to Windows. Theres simply less you can do on it, less hardware support, and less software/anything available for it. I dont know what else you would call that. And yes i have used it, it's hard not to in my line of work.
Okay, now I call troll. You are clearly bias and stuck in your opinion, no matter what people post so what's the point of the thread?
How is the truth bias? Are you actually saying these things are not true?
Name something you've tried to find for a MAC and couldn't?
Because I highly doubt there's not 1 piece of software for the PC that you can't get an equivalent to on a MAC
Yes. I'm saying OS X is not limited. If you had used OS X for any extended amount of time from a neutral point of view you'd agree. I wouldn't call either OS limited. OS X can do everything Windows 7 does.
But seriously, what's the point in discussing this further because you're clearly close minded and certain you are right.
Prove me wrong, post something you know which makes OS X limited.

its all apples and oranges

Depends on what you're doing whether something being notionally more limited than another product affects you in any way - for instance at home I tend to use Open Office for word processing/spreadsheets but inarguably it's more "limited" than Word or Excel - do I notice the difference most of the time, not at all.
