Other than in form factor, they aren't terribly
similar. 1.3Ghz Celeron, 128MB RAM, USB 1.0, no
firewire, and runs windows.  That is just nowhere near
as compelling as what is being offered in the Mac
mini, with USB 2.0 and firewire, a much faster CPU,
twice as much RAM with twice as much RAM capacity and
OS X. Besides, I don't really see a lack of
expandability.  I've been a laptop-only guy for years,
and I can't remember the last time I felt left out
because I couldn't install a PCI card.  Personal
computing has matured quite a bit since that
wintergreen thing came out, apparently.  Regardless, I
know lots of folks with Mini-ATX pcs in their living
room, my company has one buried in the table of every
boardroom, etc.  Small form factor machines seem to be
quite popular.  But what really sets the Mac mini
apart, is that it is the first mac that is price
competitive with a PC and available at a low price
point.  Also, the wintergreen was ugly.
