Shiny! Of course the reason you're crowing about is that Macs have always been pricier than PCs in the past, right?

Without making the software argument (which admittedly can be made in a fair number of ways in favour of Mac OS X) this is basically just a "finally Apple has its boxen at a reasonable price" celebration ;-)

I'm not a Windows advocate myself, but I guess you can assume that Vista will approximately level out the user experience issues in 12-18 months.
