[QUOTE="jonnyd, post: 410640, member: 31029"] The misconception has really always been because Macs have often required you spend more money. You can get a Windows PC for $250 - 300, if you aren't particularly ambitious about the specs. The cheapest Mac is more than double that. Hence, it becomes a 'fact' that Macs cost twice as much. If you actually compare similar spec' machines, it isn't true. It doesn't really figure so much in the home or very small network market, but if you're an IT manager buying 200 PCs at a time, that $200 - 300 difference suddenly becomes tens of thousands of dollars.
