Virtually everybody who has ever played with my Macs has gone out and bought one with absolutely no regrets. None of them would consider going back to Windows.

The beauty of Apple is the fact that they provide support for the hardware and the OS. If something goes wrong, there are way fewer variables to resolve. It makes a big difference for the average end user.
See.. this is what I have issues with.. If you're going to rag on Microsoft for it's operating system (the only thing they ever do) then let me use the "most amazing OS ever."

Attack Microsoft, but only as long as you're willing to support everything that Microsoft has to.
