| Since the Intel launch I have had about 8 people in my program come to Me because they know I am a long time Mac user. I didn't even try to push Macs on the them. Plus these people are involved in the purchasing for the program I work on. The tide is most definitely changing. OS X server is even on the edge of a break through and the next few years Apple will have a business division that will be coming on strong. Long time Windows server administrators are looking at OX Server very seriously now for the simple fact of money savings. Microsoft is pricing itself right out of the market.

| I do plan to get a MacBook Pro, but I don't know that I would even then install Windows. It just doesn't appeal to me. I would probably have it run GNU/Linux or FreeBSD just to tinker around. I already do a lot of my work on my work laptop under Ubuntu and it suits me fine, but for personal use I just have to have the Mac. And since lately I've been tinkering around with Darwin/x86, I would like to do that on a portable with a nice GUI when I need to get things done as opposed to just tinkering with Darwin/x86 on a VM. I might do Windows because of games, but Windows just rubs me the wrong way even when I'm just using it at work (thank God for PuTTY and SSH).

| Your thoughts are not verified facts. You have hidden facts to verify your post? If so, please post them. Further; what difference would that make in our lives?  The implication is subject to the question: Which OS the the worlds leading OS? Maybe there is a reason Gates is worth how much versus Jobs, and the reason would be ... ... ?

| 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! |
