My guess is they make more money on their proprietary h/w, especially since it's so difficult to upgrade. I have an iMac, which is far superior to any PC I have ever owned or used. It still has some issues, but they are far fewer than XP. The only thing I don't like is that there aren't that many options for upgrade. On the other hand, my macbook has given me endless hardware issues, and is currently a very expensive coaster. I agree that the Mac Mini is pretty pointless though.
