And for the record, 90% of the population buys a lot more power than they actually need, even if the prices are cheap, and most of that is because of the "planned obsolesence" in the market not necessarily because of demands of the software -- e.g. people who write letters, do spreadsheets, and send email don't need 4.Ghz processors or 4Gb of RAM... or 200Gb hard drives, for that matter.
I'm also WAY willing to concede the OS stability/understandability/usability points, especially for the home user. I found this generally to be true even before OSX, but even more so now.
