No, Mac's are not perfect, just d@mn close!

We, our company, switched a year ago from windoze, and now have more Mac's than windoze machines. (more than 60, including XServe's).

Keep the faith.

What's your company? The way I see it is, theres some parts of windows that I wish mac had, but theres a lot of things windows need that mac has. for example like the option to not put your computer to sleep when the lid is closed, though I do know there is a extension you can use but it takes so much time to switch unlike windows.

Things Macs should have the windows has:
- Constantly connected network drives
- "Del" key which deletes the letters ahead
- Made more for gaming (this is hurting macs the most! in my oppinion)

Things windows should have that macs has
- incorporate drag and drop more
- more stable core like unix
- better programs that come with windows

i've got a delete key... and a backspace.... and they tried to get games back to the mac many times, but there was never the market for it.

Another thing I like about windows is that you can just pull a USB thumbdrive out, but with mac you have to eject it.

Both platforms have pros and cons. I switched because I needed stability. I was spending more time making my computer work when I should have been using my computer to get work done. Although I have only been on the Mac full time for a short time, I can't ever imagine going back. I have been so much more productive!

I can't either. When I think about going back, I just think of the "Are you sure to want to do that?".
