Hello you wonderful people! I'm new here and pretty new to the whole Apple thing. I recently bought my first Apple, new iMac 20", 2.4 GHz.
Someone in this thread mentioned earlier that this huge amount of Windows users switch to Mac OS X has something to do with the fact that Apple started using Intel processors... well, I believe for some people that was exactly the reason... but in my case, the only reason I switched to Mac (running Leopard BTW) is because I simply got fed up with Vista's numerous problems and MS not doing anything to fix them. It was on my way of doing my business properly and when something is on my way, either I remove it out of my way, or I simply choose the other direction. In this case it was hopeless and there is simply nothing you can do until MS releases those patches. People paid so much money for that OS, and still there is no updates... MS promised there will be some coming around the late mid of the next year ?!! C'mon... that's not professional at all.
I have to say I am unbelievable happy with OS X, no adjustment time wasted at all... as soon as I started using it, I felt like home. Every single task I have to do, I do it enjoying this wonderful OS. No obstacles in my way. Simply wonderful ! Never ever going to go back to Windows, that's for sure.
Oh, to go back for a second... idea that many people switched to Mac because of the Intel architecture inside... well, I bought Leopard, and I got this BootCamp with it... yet, I never ever got even slightest idea to install Windows on another partition. I ran away from it, why would I need it here now ?
Cheers!
