Quote - "FACT: Mac users now take up 12% market share, NOT 3.2% as you quoted. Source, Mac World Magazine, Macbreak Weekly and others."

So, you go to Mac magazines to know the Mac market share... ;-)
I rest my case now without even needing to say anything...

Quote - "Sorry, but I won't debate this as obviously you have no intent on reading actual facts from other media sources than myself in the points I have made."

Again, what facts have you stated that could help the decision to purchase a Vue computer?

Quote - "In order to understand this you must know the way development teams are implemented and work."

:-)  Actually, I'm the leader of an IT department which includes a development team. I think I know how a development team works. And I also know that outsourcing costs money. And I know that benefits must outweigh the costs for every business decision. So, my conclusion stands perfectly valid.

Quote - "The figure you quoted about PC users are largely from the average Joe and NOT the high-end users like myself that make up those statistics."

So what? My point was about "de facto" standards. "De facto" standards are not created by "high-end users" (whatever that means) but rather by the consumers (to which you call "average Joe").

Quote - "The Mac can run nearly any OS, NOT a PC."

That is obviously untrue. You should check your facts. You probably mean that a PC can't run OS X. That's hardly a disadvantage... :-)
But even if you were right and a Mac can run nearly any OS and a PC can't, how does that benefit the average consumer? Better still, how does that benefit a Vue user?

About prices, I won't even argue more. Just go to a shop and compare prices.
Your comparison Ferrari - Chevy... The comparison is obviously incorrect because a PC can be as high-end as you choose it to be.
But if it were correct, I can honestly tell you that I'd prefer a Chevy than a Ferrari for my daily travels. :-) A Ferrari could be good to show-off and have some fun but, in the end of the day, it's going from point A to point B with reasonable prices that really matters. Gaining a few seconds in my 10km from home to work at the expense of a much higher invoice makes no business sense whatsoever. So, thanks for the comparison, it helped my case! :-)

Quote - "It seems to me like I have hit a nerve that is not a-typical of forums on the net when someone tries to explain facts, that have even been reported by many technical news media outlets."

Again, what facts have you brought that could help the decision of a Vue user who wants to buy a computer?

Quote - "All this talk has no regard to personal choice and use as now many times and was ignored, use what you like, it's YOUR MONEY."

You keep saying that, which reminds me of some business consultants I met. :-)
They give the advise and then step back. If the customer followed the advise and it proved to be right, they're fine. If the advise proved to be wrong, they say "I told you that it was your decision".
It's nice to always be on the safe side... :-)
