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.

I am less than a year into switching to macs at home. 1 mac mini as a desktop for my daughter(replaced a dell), and 1 mac book to replace our still (barely) working laptop(toshiba). Don't plan on going back to windows any time soon.

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...
