This is where we disagree.
The Windows users I know are particularly attached to Office and Steam, and reject other platforms as a result. Incidentally, this group tends to be quite budget-conscious and values specs and raw power over less tangible elements like design.
The Mac users I know are devotees of a vast range of software (OmniGroup, Reeder, Fantastical, Coda, 1Password, MarsEdit, Transmit, Scrivener, etc.) that they are unwilling to renounce.
I don't see either group giving those up for Chrome OS, which they would consider to be trading down, unless they got something major in return. A $300 computer is a bargain that makes sense. I maintain that $1,300 is way beyond most people's notion of fair value.
