Windows 7 has closed the OS debate on OSX to charge a premium.
I'd argue that OS X is still worth more then Windows 7 - especially for anyone doing development (that isn't tied to .NET). And by worth more I mean I'm willing to pay the difference.

However, you are dead on for the rest of the complaint - Apple has priced the Mac Mini way too high for what it actually contains.

There is no reason Apple couldn't produce a Mac Mini with HDMI for under $500, except that it would highlight the pointlessness of the Apple TV (seriously, stick at least a DVD player on that thing for crying out loud).
