“My perspective is Rush is the perfect Apple consumer. They have made the computer experience pretty simple and solid, but there are limits when you choose to go with Apple.”
Nonsense. Macs are the most flexible computers, period. They’ll run Mac, Windows and POSIX software seamlessly, and with the Windows instance(s) sandboxed from the rest of the system so malware is contained.
If for some reason you need “native Windows”, Bootcamp allows that also.
Macs are also a good (to great) value depending on how much you value your time and the excellent bundled applications including backup.
For software developers, they’re an even better deal, since all of the development tools are freely available. For Windows, the comparable package costs hundreds of dollars.
But then you don't have the simple dumb user experience the Mac is known for. If you are going to use a Mac to claim windows is an inferior platform why would you tought running windows as a big benefit? Really it makes no sense.
