Ditto!
I have converted a couple of my friends, and after buying their first Mac the only thing they have regretted is why they waited so long before they switched.

IMO there's nothing wrong with Mac OSX. Just the price tag of attached to it with the hardware. Other than that, there's nothing wrong with having another OS.

But I have never personally met you.

Not everyone will be successful at the transition. You need to change the way you do things, and that's not for everyone. Who really cares.

That's true. I was actually pretty frustrated with my Mac the first couple of days because I had to do some things differently. Once I got past that, I never looked back....and never will.

I started out on a PC ten years ago I know that is not long but none the less everyone
i personnaly know started out on a PC its what everyone around me at the time said get
and I was somewhat happy with it never gave it much thought when someone mentioned
Mac and was scared to change because thats not what my peers and friends had with
the exception of one friend. One day three years ago he said take my MacBook for the
weekend and try it that Monday after work bought my first MBP and never looked back.
Now I can understand if your a gamer why a PC would be your priority but outside of
that can't imagine why and over the years all I hear is proprietary and hate Jobs and
iTunes but not once has anyone broke down a technical reason and some like to micro
manage every file and folder but i just want the command executed as fast as possible.
I will now step down off the soapbox thank you.

All those corporations, banks, software houses, businesses, aren't playing games. But does it really matter. If your happy what else matters.

This is obviously a no-win situation. Both sides have valid arguments.

However, the side that doesn't prefer the Mac, is clearly and utterly wrong!
Off their "gourds", so to speak. But then again, some guys actually prefer ugly girls.

Clearly you do

Interesting topic considering I'm looking into buying a Macbook/ pro maybe. Been using PC's for years now, I don't hate em at all but from some of the research I've done, I think a mac would better fit my tastes, besides I can still play WOW.

Ugly chicks usually have low self-esteem and will do things. Things other just chicks just won't do.

With such a wide user base, you'd think you've have encountered a situation, business, technical, or financial where a PC was preferable. Could be something as simple as lot of bespoke applications that only run on Windows. Or thats their primary market.
