Apple users pay $500 extra for a logo

Okay, this guy clearly is not worthy of running Misco$oft. Mac's may be more expensive but they use high-end components. For example: Every monitor used by Apple whether it's in a MacBook, iMac, iPod, iPhone or stand alone Apple display, uses LED backlighting with IPS technology. You can't compare Apples to brand X who don't use LED+IPS.

The biggest difference between an Apple computer vs any PC is Apples OSX! You couldn't GIVE me a computer if it didn't run OSX. And please don't talk to me about Hack-Intosh machines, I'm talking about computers that are supported and backed up by Apple thank-you-very-much.

My Apple products offer superior hardware, software, support and user experience. In addition to that, they have excellent resale value thus giving them an overall lower operating cost to own and operate.

For a CEO to simply dismiss Apple users as paying $500 extra for a logo is undermining my choice as an educated consumer. Mr. Ballmer... you can suck it.
