I am not a fan of Windows.

But my thing about not going to a Mac or Unix is the ability to get whatever software you want for mostly free and you can get a PC for 1/3rd the price of a mac, spend 2 days and get all the utilities you want installed.

Jake I think this is highly dependent on what you use the machine for, e.g. Chet's requirements are pretty heavy-duty, whereas most people won't need much more than a browser and a word processor.

It's tough to make the argument that Mac and Linux don't have the software you need anymore. In fact, I think there are more open source alternatives for Linux (natch) than for Windows, due to their cultural differences.

I won't get into cost here. Suffice to say that pricetag != cost of ownership.

I can understand facebook, linkedin, orkut and all the other sites. I have accounts in all of these. But, I never understand myspace. In this day and age, how can they make such an ugly website and still be the most popular website.
