Although i have yet to transition from PC to Mac, I am all in for other Apple devices. I laughed the other day because I was watching streaming through Apple TV, working on my iPad, my iPhone sitting next to me, and my old iPod on the bedside table, which I still use as an alarm. It’s remarkable. I go to sleep using their products and wake up to two devices...for my alarm and then jump online while I am waking up on the iPad. This coming from an Apple skeptic until a few years ago. There are other good products out there, no doubt, but what they have produced is damn good.
What will finally break you from the PC is buying a Mac that can run Windows 7 in a virtual machine like a desktop app window at only about an 8% performance hit versus Windows running natively on the same hardware. You need Windows, you just tab to it.
Slowly, you find yourself not needing Windows for a thing anymore unless you’re slaved to a Microsoft shop in your workplace requirements — and there’s not a lot of people in IT who absolutely have to run Windows natively on the machine right in front of them when logging into their workplace PC via VPN will do. Does that describe you or not?
Once you stop needing Windows, you’re officially a non-smoker. You just wake up one morning and realize you don’t smoke their lousy cigarettes anymore.
If you’ve got all Apple gear but still use a PC desktop, you’re really hobbling yourself for no good reason unless you can think of one right now. Microsoft sure can’t come up with one.
Microsoft Corporation has pretty much proven to the world in the three latest versions of Windows that no typical user needs them anymore, and we’re just about to see if anyone wants their operating system for *free*.
They need to learn to make this thing with some USB ports. One or two just doesn't cut it for me. On the upside, it seems ios sure has a better record at warding off viruses, malware, rootkits, etc. Seems like an ongoing fight with these issues with PC's.
