That's interesting - I am having the same thoughts about moving to Apple.

I was a MacIntosh user (and loved it) way back in the late 80's - and somehow the world of business standards pushed me onto the PC - ..

I'm with you - let's go to Apple - why not - most business applications are now compatible.

Maybe a little more research is in order.

I'm slowly making the transition over to the Mac. I use Windows XP mostly as a gaming platform now - and at the office - but I'm doing my best to gravitate away from Windows-specific software even there. By this time next year I expect to be living a Windows-free life. ;)

Yep, the business end pushed me into PCs. I also like gaming, so Mac was still a non-starter. However, what has really turned the corner for me is that Macs have vast superiority in video editing, which is important to me. And, while I believe more games will be coded for Macs in the near future, there is now a very good program out that will allow a Mac to run Windows and OSX simultaneously (Apple's program allows you to run either, or, but not both side by side.) So the gaming thing should not be an issue and I can stick with MS Office if I want to.
