The overall cost of Windows OS is lower because it has great 
backwards compatibility. I have been reliably informed that that the 
current Windows OS will run apps your grandfather (well not yours, 
perhaps, Brian, or mine either, but you know . . . ) used back when 
God's dog was a pup.

But with OS X . . .

Oh dear, i remember the days when we used to boast about the backward 
compatibility of Mac OS and laugh at Windoze users.  :(
