That is a terrible analogy, especially considering that what you get in the latest Mac is older than what's available on the retail market. Oh and, Mac's use the same hardware as PCs. Open up any mac and you'll see Samsung, Toshiba, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, Seagate, Adata, etc hardware inside. So comparing a mac as a high end sports car and a pc as a crappy hyundai is just unintelligent.

It takes me less time to install OS X on my PC whose hardware is better than the latest Diaper Genie Pro than it does to install Windows. And if you're not a complete moron then you'd also know how to set up the hack pro where installing updates from apple won't break anything.
But then, some people are made to tinker, build and the like; and others are made to be consumers.
