Well, I hate to say it but after all the crap M$ has put windows users through even I am looking at one. And I used to be a windows admin./
Do you remember the old story about “If you want a reliable car, see what your mechanic drives?”
I *am* a Windows admin.
I have no PCs at home. My personal laptop is a Mac. My desktop is a Mac. I use an iPhone.
Number of times my Apple gear has failed me when I needed it most: 0.
Number of times Windows has screwed my users when they needed it to work: Entirely too many.
Number of people at my biggest client who are finally starting to realize that my personal gear never seems to generate drama: A lot.
I just bought a beautiful iMac the other week after years on Windows. I am loving it.
Anyway, I helped a friend with his Vista box over the weekend - my first exposure to it. No thanks. I didn't want to spend a lot of time looking into his issue, and I couldn't seem to find anything on the box. Took me a bit to figure out where they had put some stuff. Between vista and his ‘tweaks’, I thought the computer was all but unusable.
Switching to OS X wasn't much more difficult than a switch to Vista (from what I saw)...That said, there is still a lot of OS X I have to learn. Then Objective C, then Cocoa, then maybe the iPhone sdk...
