I realize I'm going to take some heat for writing this, but everytime I read something written by Jobs, it makes me second guess my reason for owning so many Macs.
I have a 27" Imac, 2 macbook pros, 2 iphones, 1 IPad, an apple TV, and an airport extreme. I'm truly an all Mac house.
That being said, I can decide myself if I want 5 or 10 hour battery life..
And to talk about open standards, obviously very hipocritical. With all of the quality issues they have had recently I was on the fence on whether to switch to PC. I got one of the bad 27" Imac's with the yellow screen, and my Ipad doesn't get good reception with my airport extreme, another common problem.
Makes me wonder if I should switch.....
If by having 2 small problems, (to which Apple always gets a fix out or extends the guarantee) then maybe you should switch to a PC, then you will be able to see some real problems...I have had SOOOOO many

devices with problems, all of which I have been given a solution by

my actual MacBook Pro has extra cover for the faulty graphic card, (so far without any issues)
REAL CASE SITUATIONS.
In my place of work EVERYONE who has a DELL laptop has had to have their motherboard and/or hard-drive changed. (There was a joke, that maybe the company should make a table available for the Dell tech guy as he spend SOOOO much time there

)
EVERYONE who has a HP ProBook has had to have the motherboard changed due to issues with the graphic card, and silly USB dock station not working..
Mac users (to which some are still using iMac G5's WITHOUT problems) the only major problems are USER problems.
Agreed that

are NOT what they where, and although the quality is still high, customer care has taken a blow. (also there are higher sales volumes to take into account) etc. etc.
I fully understand your reasoning behind the changed. I actually made the changed (lasted 16 days) 5 different laptops, Vista ultimate, XP, even a beta of Windows 7, even bought a touch screen laptop...but sold the PC that I had kept for less than half it's retail price...and bought a MBP for 2300 euros. and even though my MBP has issues with the graphic card.. WOULD NOT TRY WINDOWS again in my life!!! those 16 days were the worst days of my life. driver hell, virus, malware. 30Gb of junk programs. crappy OS. hard drives not working due to Mac format. could not workout how to configure Time Capsule.. Air Tunes stopped working. had to reformat iPhone and iPods, due to Widows format.

TV did not sync, El Gato TV did not work, Apple keyboard and Mouse not working (obvious reasons jejeej) no fiber optic output on the PC to connect to my stereo. VGA connection on PC and only have a TV and monitor with DVI. the list of problems goes on.
If you do switch take into account your

inversion.

ALLOT of things just to not work on a PC.
Good luck... (no sarcasm intended, just a opnion from someone who made the switch to PC from Mac)
p.s.
I have never owed a PC in my life!! so yes it was a big deal, and yes I was pisse* with Apple hence the change..
BUT!!! with all

s negative things, they are STILL one of if not THE best computer maker in my eyes...
