Read this first.
A Month of Mac
That is a guy contemplating switching.

And then read this.
The Mac Won Me Over
This is the result of him trying to switch.

Sure there is a lot of switching stories on the net. But this one is short and nice.

Very cool and well-written. I think the more tech-savvy a person is, the more they will appreciate and understand OS X.
Thanks for posting this.

You don't have to understand something fully to appreciate it. That's just me though. ^-^"

I think OS X is an exception to this rule. The OS is sleek east to use + integrates with all the other Apple apps like ilife for the average person and has terminal for the tech-minded people. So it caters to the best of both worlds. Very few other products do this as well as OS X.

Maybe I didn't word it exactly right, but I was making an observation that I guess I just can't quite convey accurately. ;D
