But tell me.... really tell me....
What real good is Windows?
Sure, i'd use linux to build a network. I'd get a PS2 to play games. I wouldn't ever buy a windows computer and really, unless you have some special need to use it, there's no reason to NOT go mac. My dad uses autocad and has continually become more and more frustrated with the OS and how it works.
He buys a 40 gb firewire drive and spends two days trying to get it installed in a Win ME box. I plugged it into my mac for demo and it popped right up on the screen.
He serious was considering ditching ACAD, the PC and all of his hardware for vectorworks and a g4.....
Simply stated, apple's "Everything is Easier on a Mac" is pretty right on. I used windows for many years b4 switching to Mac for design.... and it is MUCH easier. Everything.
Example two: there are a bunch of coffeehouses here with 802.11b networks setup. PC users flock over to my ti and watch me surf and ask how to do it. I tell them what they need and it seems like it takes them (and sometimes me) forever to get them up and running. It's just that Windows is in no way a consumer bred OS and why people still put up with that garbage is beyond me.
Everyone says that if apple gets more market they won't innovate. Bull. If they get more market, profits rise, and I think they innovate EVEN MORE. They have more money to sink into an already exorbitant (its gotta be!) R&D department
