I can build a PC with MAC-like performance for about half the cost, plus I have a wider selection of software titles available to me. I do also feel that it would profit Apple greatly to create and sell a MAC-OS for the PC.

As a PC user since the 80s who recently made the switch, I disagree. First, the prices are comparable:

As for software, I've found no shortage or lack of choice -- indeed, most of the software I have for my mac was free, and the (free and included) programmer's development environment is a joy to use (even nicer than Borland.)
Most of my hardware (Printer, camera, calculator, etc.) doesn't even need a driver software install, you just plug it in and it works. Everything about this machine just works, I've never been this happy with a computer.
Last: no spyware, no adware, a built in privacy mode for all my web browsing, no viruses, no Trojans, no root kits, a bullet proof firewall (included), the best IM program made, automatic hard drive encryption (included) incredible ergonomics for both soft and hardware, and not a single crash or hangup since I bought it last summer. Its compact, and its even attractive -- and the OS is a work of art. Most PCs and Microsoft products look (and perform) like cheap schlock in comparison.
Why pay the same price for a product that isn't even in the same league? I could never go back to PCs or MicroSloth Winblows.
