Consider this, do you want the thing to just work? or do you want to maintain and manage every aspect of your system? How would you class yourself? power user? regular user?
It basically comes down to (forgetting money) how you feel about the interaction of the system. I know so many OSX users that despise the windows OS because, in the end, they haven't properly maintained the system.
These words actually came out of a friend of mines mouth: 'this PC is like driving a tank' to which I responded, 'fuck yeah it is, if you know how to drive a tank'. Her PC was slower than a week in jail and hadden't been cleaned in about 4 years.
Also I remember reading about how Apple will be using a certain type of screw on their boxes that, in order to open, require a screw driver that costs ~£300 and to get one you have to be a certified apple technician or something ridiculous. Surely its your right as a consumer to have the right to take apart what you buy? I'm just talking here and cant be arsed digging out the links, but this sort of lock in is something that apple are trying to do across the board (again cite some links, app store, blah blah blah). Safari, for example, has a crazy amount of security to idiot proof the user.
But I am not disrespecting the OS, in fact, the OSX terminal is fucking awesome, command line for the win. The OSX is based on Unix (or linux, watever), and is fucking robust.
