Don't most companies do that?

Never had that experience. I'm not a huge gamer but I can tell you that games sold here are available for both systems, and if not all the time, at least 90% of the time.

Have to agree with you here. The multi-touch Magic Mouse is the worst mouse I've ever used. I don't have an iMac (just a MacBook Pro), but I can tell you that if I ever bought one, I would switch that mouse for a regular one.
The keyboard is not so bad. Many high end Windows laptop computers use a similar keyboard (Sony, Samsung, some Gateways). Nothing could be worse then a netbook keyboard. Those things are so ****ing small, I don't know how anyone manages to type anything on them.
Actually, I also think most desktop keyboards are horrible. Good to learn on, but overall they are very clunky and you have to type so darn hard to get the words on the screen. This opinion is a result of 6+ years of laptop use. Laptop keyboards are easier to type on because my fingers can just fly across the keys.

Acer laptops are not the best. Yes, they are incredibly cheap compared to other models, but you're really getting what you're paying for. My mom has had two Acer laptops in the last couple of years, and the keys come off very easily. Also, the touchpad is not terribly sensitive. A few of my friends have also had those problems with Acers.
