I’ve been using Mac’s since 1993. I’ve had to work on PC’s while doing work for other companies and I have never understood the appeal of a Windows machine. It’s been frustrating for me to watch and hear people struggle with numerous issues that I had only heard of. Mac’s have just gotten better and better and they were good to start with. They froze in the old days quite a bit, but since OS x that’s a thing of the past. They’re also faster now and most software you’ll ever need comes fully installed except for maybe word and a good database. Word comes installed but you have to purchase the license after a 30 day trial period on new Macs. We run Filemaker Pro as our database. Other than that, all the software we need is included. If pride is keeping you from switching, then swallow it and take the plunge. You’ll see the Mac people weren’t being snobby, they just want to share their good fortune ; ) Plus, they really snaz up the office with their powerful aesthetics which can really affect the psyche of clientele, giving you or your business that sharper image.

I think I will just stick with XP for now. I like my laptop more than the OS

The one thing that does bug me is the lack of cross grading software companies have between OSX and Windows. This is the only thing that is keeping this remaining windows box in my work environment.

This is precicely the same reason that I switched to Mac. I’ve not looked back since, and you soon will forget all those little troubles you get with Windows after you’re familiar with OS X.
I love reading switch stories like this, so great to see another join the flock
