What's with Apple's commercials?

As for the OS's themselves, the main problem with any Apple computer is that they are just so expensive it's ridiculous. Main problem with Windows is that any prebuilt computer that has a Windows OS on it will be loaded down in bloatware, and will run ALOT slower than it has the potential to. Luckily, I built my last computer from scratch so it generally runs perfectly (unless I do something stupid like, let's say, not insert the RAM in all the way ) and it was MUCH cheaper.

OK. Why do you use Windows? Is it its excellent technical merits? Its impeccable security record? Its thoughtful GUI? Its competitive price ($240 for "Home Premium" last I checked)? Or is it because you simply cannot switch?

When you say that Apple computers are expensive, I'm sure you mean that they don't offer much low-end models, rather than they're overpriced.
