These are the hallmarks of not only the physical shapes and forms of Apple products, but of the OS interface as well. Compare a Mac notebook to just about any Windows notebook on the market and you'll see an amazing difference. Microsoft has even pointed out how simple and elegant Apple products look--and has even tried to use this as a negative, that "people buy Macs as status symbols" (what a joke). The closest I've seen any WinBox come in elegance is the Adamo, and it's almost a copy of the MacBook Pro. Good, well-thought-out design is essentially simple and elegant.

Can you imagine quotes like these coming out of Redmond WA or Round Rock TX? “We are absolutely consumed by trying to develop a solution that is very simple because as physical beings we understand clarity, we’re comfortable with clarity.”
