:shrug: The people I work for have jobs, and it's worth while to them to spend an extra $200 up front to get a computer that's not gonna sh*t out on them 6 months from now when their kid tries to get hot naked Angelina Jolie pictures and blows out their Windows installation with a nice malware infestation. They'll spend that $200 + more and waste my Saturday afternoon while I try to fix it before giving up and reinstalling Windows from scratch. Might as well get a Mac and save all our time.

And yes, I do apply my logic to Linux and others. I recommend any casual user to go with the largest supported OS so that anyone can help them if they have trouble plus the knowledge they gain can be used outside their computer since most computers run windows.
I'm fine with people buying Windows PCs. It keeps me in work. I hate Linux and have no desire or skill to support it. But if someone is going to ask me to recommend a computer I'm gonna give them the best answer I can: get a Mac. It'll do everything you need it to do and won't get blowed up surfing porn.
