I think Apple should allow other people to build cheap, uninspiring headless boxes that will run Mac OS X, AS SOON AS piracy of their software is made impossible.
"Why is no one saying: "Why doesn't Apple offer the iMac without Mac OS X?" Then they could drop the price by $129 and you can install Linux."
NVidia doesn't release Linux drivers for PowerPC, so you'd be stuck with 2D software emulation, possibly even 16-bit color. A real waste of a good screen.
The only thing Apple may be faulted for is offering less choice. Well at least it's a good choice.
By the way, an 80 GB SATA drive is worth at least $10 more than an 80 GB ATA/100 drive.
For business, the iMac is more ergonomic and comes in less boxes. But lets remember this is a home computer designed to run iLife.
Now, someone tell me why the comparison was not with an all-in-one Sony VAIO V or W?
