So some people who are currently paying $$$ for Windows are now willing
to pay $$$ to get a Mac.
So why is it that people would rather pay $$$ for a Mac than get Linux
for free?
The 'lock-in' arguement doesn't work here because they're learning an
entirely new OS. But instead of keeping their existing PC (free) and
getting Linux (also free) they are willing to buy new hardware ($$$)
and Mac software ($$$). I wonder why?
