Proprietary Tax Makes Linux $1000 Less Expensive Than Mac, Windows

,----[ Quote ]
| Trying to compare details like what software someone is going to buy is 
| impossible. Is there a person for whom a Windows PC ends up costing $1000 
| more than a Mac? Probably. Does that person have a clue what they’re doing? 
| Probably not. Does anyone care? Definitely not.
