3. The prices are higher than a cheapo no-name Windows box, but
   you (usually) get better quality and more equipment. If you 
   actually compare the same specifications, the Mac isn't 
   really more expensive than a Windows PC. (The Mac is even
   less expensive if you include the cost, monetary and / or
   time, of trying to deal with all the idiotic malware!)

4. Technically a Windows PC can run many OSes as well, including
   Mac OS X, but it's against the legal agreement you "sign" to
   install it on non-Apple machines.
