I’ve got three Macs in constant use and one Windows XP box, and I hate using the PC when I have to.

Even programs that are cross-platform compatible, like Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, FileMaker Pro and Dreamweaver, are far easier to use on the Mac, due to OSX’s ease of use and its font utilization.

I have transitioned all my XP boxes to VMware Fusion on each of my 2 intel macs.

I was underwhelmed by Parallels and the Wine products.

Fusion by VMware is absolutely seamless with cut and paste between the virtual machines.

I still use both of my G4 PPCs with Tiger.

I started the switch to macs in summer of 2003
When I recognized they began to run BSD Unix and not MacOS.

My background is z/OS and Unix both system V and BSD.

G3 blue & white w/ OS 9
G4 iMac 17" 1 Ghz w/ Tiger
G4 17" Powerbook 1Ghz w/ Tiger
Intel iMac 20" w/ Tiger
Intel Mac Pro 2X dual chip (i.e.) 4 engine at 2.66 Ghz each;
5G of real memory and a half of a terabyte of disk w/Tiger.

Two of the macs are used by my wife.

Apple has kept the user friendly interface
but now run it on bulletproof BSD Unix

I'm looking forward to running a 64 bit Unix operating system
with Leopard on my Mac Pro with two dual Xeon 2.66 Ghz engines.

OBTW the PPC engines ran 2 or 3 instructions each CPU cycle,
so a 1 G hz PPC seems to run like a 3 G hz intel processor

I’d love to run Windows like that, but my Macs are all Power PC’s. One G5 quad, one G5 and one G4.

I also have a Quadra 800 that cost me beaucoup bucks at a Comdex a long, long time ago, where Apple had a booth showing off its products to conventioneers and I was HOOKED!

Fellow Fusion Users Unite!

We will show the true path, where allegiance to any OS is silly in the face of being able to use ANY OS!

We must preach the new gospel to the masses!
