Now I get to ask you why. Why would you turn down a potentially better product because people you will never meet, and most likely have no actual effect on your user experience also use it?

I would guess about half of Windows users voted for Kerry in the last election, are you going to stop using PCs because they attract Democrats?

No, I wouldn't turn it down because of that reason, which is precisely why I will eventually buy one (very likely used). That said since I have been happy with PC's for some time, I honestly don't feel I am missing out on anything for not owning a Mac. I have Photoshop, and recording software. Heck with skins I can get a close mock-up to the visual aspect of OSX.

People were early on when Vista was in beta form comparing it to a more MAC-like UI, and maybe that is precisely why I don't care for the graphic gimmickry of Vista. The Aero crap was the first thing I turned off when I loaded Vista Beta. My laptop had Vista pre-loaded and I installed a new 160gb hard drive and the OS that went on it was XP Pro.
