Sounds like you are comparing a 399 PC to an 1500 iMac.. try comparing machines with the same specs and you notice the Mac's ain't so overpriced after all. (built-yourself component-by-component pc are cheaper, but that ain't really a fair comparison, since macs do come fully assembled and fitted with software...)
And WinXP can't burn DVDs or play DVD movies out-of-the-box. how's that for a laugh. go ms go.
