- Super slow boot times (45-90 seconds even with fast 7200 RPM HD)
- Requires drivers for other devices
- Requires 3rd party everything, like monitors.
- Little to no free support, No single source support, Long waits for support.
- Pay about $250 for OS upgrades
And worst of all, you very likley to be so stubborn that you won't even consider the Apple brand, that:
- Has simple, elegant design with almost no wires
- Super silent fans (3 in iMac, 1 in new Mac Pro, none in Macbook)
- OS, based on super-stable Unix, written by Apple, for apple.
- No anti-virus software to worry about, and no viruses either)
- Properly written software + certified 3rd party software available through Apple
- Super-Fast Boot times (12-16 seconds)
- Plays well with other devices
- Includes stunning, very high quality monitors (except Mac Pro which requires separate purchase for monitor)
- Super-fast support, often free, with almost zero wait time.
- Pay about $20.00 for OS upgrades.
Many mac users like myself, came from PC backgrounds and used PC's before switching to Macs because we gave Apple a chance. Almost all of the Apple-bashers on this board flat-out refuse to even consider Apple and spit out all kinds of errors when talking about their products.
"Apple Fanboys" do not exist. Apple users use Apple products its because we like them for all kinds of reasons and their products work for us, and its because we SHOPPED AROUND like a good consumer should. We looked at the product then looked at the price and said "Great! Here's my money".
If you rant against Apple but have never owned one yourself and then spew out your "PC Forever" rants, then YOU are the fanboy.

You forgot to add that the average Mac cost 2 times as much for the same performance in a PC.
Also no wires? Ok with a Mac and nothing else it has only a few wires, however if you need extra hard drive space you can't add a 2nd hard drive to the iMac you have to connect it externally via wires.
iMac still has a Power cable, USB mouse & keyboard. You also need a cat 5 cable if you hook directly into your router or modem.
PC has Power cable,USB mouse & keyboard, also needs a cat 5 if hooking direct to modem. Requires extra wires for speakers..
So a PC can have a internal extra hard drive or two or more.. equals no need to hook up via USB. Meaning the only extra wires a PC really needs in speakers and video.
Sure a iMac can use blutooth keyboard & mouse,. but do they come with them? Yet a PC can also be equipped to run blutooth..
Also those silent fans in the iMac don't always keep it cool.. Mine use to get extremely hot, to the point I could feel it just siting in front of it.
tit for tat I'll take a PC any day over another mac.. At least I can replace the parts in a PC and upgrade it.
To top it all off, I don't have to hand over my credit card info to Microsoft just to download a patch.
