Kids choose windows over macs? That's a strange statement, let's look at it shall we?
The cheapest laptop you can get from apple, the 15 inch macbook, $1100. The cheapest dell you can get, $700. $400 difference, wow that's like a year's worth of books for a college student. Or a big fat sack of herb for a college student.
Games.
Nearly every single game title that has come out has a windows version. But when you look at the Mac section of it there's a wee laughable list with about 4 games that have come out within the past two years. Many college/high school students play games.
