Thats incorrect actualy. They were in debt 2 billion dollars until they released the original iMac about 10ish years ago. Since they released that they were making steady profit. The iPod was a big boost though.
I know this because it was in the guenis book of world records for having the shortist manual or something like that.

Ok, in windows, go to Start -> Run -> Type in "Regedit" without the quotes.
Now, look at this piece of garbage. Registry edit BLOWS. Try parsing through all of these.
A VITAL piece of the windows OS is nigh-impossible to deal with unless you know the EXACT key you need to work with. UNIX and Mac don't have this kind of crap to deal with.

You're not really supposed to be screwing around with the registry though... And if you do, it's not something you do frequently. The only time I really need to visit the registry has been when I needed to patch something to an older version so I could mod it, and when I had to delete some keys for Daemon Tools to work. For both of those, I had a clear guide to what I had to do. I never had to search for anything.

Are you trying to say that somehow the macs are better because they are cheaper? PC's are cheaper. I can build a $300 computer thats just as good as a Mac Mini ($600) and load it with Linux($0) Windows($80) or a cracked version of OS X ($Illegal, because Apple is too dumb to not require you to have an Apple branded PC).

You have an alienware, that's why your computer is expensive. That's not Window's fault.
I can get a TOP OF THE LINE PC for $738 dollars (1 month ago.) I can get an AVERAGE Mac for $1299 dollars.

Mac is based on Unix, meaning no holes. On a unix system, you CANNOT get remote access even if you have the root login. You have to be actually on the system to use the root functions.
