“Apple also sells their own systems not just the OS”

I have an Apple IPOD. I have not tried OSX, but having used Itunes, I am scared to death of an Apple OS. ( and I do OS support for a living :-)

Why? if you had trouble with a zune would you swear off windows?

I switched my business to Mac four years ago. I have 6 of them now. Powerbooks, G5’s...They are incredible. They always work. Everything works. All the time. I even dropped one of the powerbooks about 8 feet onto a concrete floor (by accident) It works like it did new four years ago. I have a new client that provided a brand new PC for my work with them. Fully loaded 2000 dollar unit. It is like going back in time. It does a new bad thing every day. This client spends 1500 a month just to keep a Windows repair man on call. He comes into their office so much they’ve given him his own desk. In all my years of using Macs I’ve never had to pay a dime to resolve problems or crashes. The difference between the two is like the difference in walking and riding on a jet.

There is really no need to be scared of the Mac OS. You’ll figure out the idiosyncrasies straight away. What you WILL be scratching your head about is what all these Mac drones are shouting from the rooftops about. We recently added on a client that has a fair amount of OS X workstations for graphics design, so myself and one of the other partners got drawn to be the Mac guys. I bought a MacBook Pro, and bought a used iMac off of eBay to start familiarizing myself with it. Three months into it now, and I’m begging someone to tell me what the big deal is. I don’t get it.
