I don't (generally) pay anymore for my Mac software than my (at work) PC
Software.
As far as the volume goes, there are more games available, but beyond
that I rarely have a problem finding the software I need.
PC advocates have used these two statements to justify their dismisal
of the Mac platform or to discourage new users from buying a mac, but in
my experience they just don't hold water. The Vast majority of users
simply don't need 6 or 7 word processors or spread sheet applications.
There will always be specific areas were one platform or the other is
better, but broad generalizations are just not accurate. I often pay
less for my software than my PC friends, and 10 times? come on! The
problem I generally find is that Sofware retailers don't stock the Mac
versions. I'm amazed at how much more software is available at Mac only
retailers.
