If you bought a PC in 2004 because it was cheaper and faster than a Mac - and then bought third party peripherals and a few software upgrades only to now find yourself dead-ended on XP and facing the costs for Wintel 7 - you probably paid all that money, and suffered second rate results, largely because the PC industry lied to you about the Mac option.
