"The Price"
I bet if i was able to make a post saying ship your laptop to me and i will in return send you a brand new mac book pro everybody would do it. well maybe not everyone but 95%
Actually I would argue that everybody would switch to apple, but then quickly switch back to PC. Reason being, people generally do not like change. No matter how good a change is for them they will always be resistant to change. If you have been using windows and only windows for the majority of your pc life, chances are a switch to OSX would frustrate users and most would switch back to windows.
As I said i was one of those people who said "the price" but I had a good opportunity to use a mac for a while and that made me realize i'm not too willing to switch to a mac
