No? While I choose not to use Windows on my personal computers, I also take note of my Mac using friends, family, and clients needing at least the same amount of support as those using Windows. Fairly recently, a client balked at the budget I set for a Mac to replace her old computer, so she settled on a nicely specced Lenovo AIO with three years on site coverage for at least $300 less than a comparably specced new Mac mini with peripherals and AppleCare.
