How long are you a switcher for ??

I actually dont consider myself a switcher. I still use Windows for 8 hours each day, OSX for less than 3. This is due to work (we use Windows across the board.) Even on my MBP, I have Win7 installed and use is almost daily as well.

I have ADDED OSX to my list of what I use, I have not switched from Windows to OSX.

Since 2006 90% Mac and the other 10% Windows and Linux (learning on this ) but by far OSX is my go to if i can OS.

I'm not necessarily a switcher, since I just added a Mac Mini in January to my collection of computers.. I predominantly use Linux and Mac at home..

After adding that Mac Mini..I began using it more and more and less of the Linux machine..ended up selling both the Linux machine and the Mac Mini and fully switched over to a 27" iMac in early 2010..

Purchased an imac in feb 2010, been using windows previously for approx 20+ years, split my time approx 50/50 between windows 7 and osx, both o/s have advantages and disadvantages, like them both

Never have been! Macs for life!

6 months. I love my Mac and am completely converted.

Going on 3 years now. I only use Windows at work so I am a total switcher. Won't say I would never buy a Windows PC again, but probably not unless they make a major change to the OS (as in move to something like UNIX or it's next generation equivalent as the Core).
In effect I guess I am saying I would return to Windows if Windows becomes OSX.

I didn't switch. I never started from a Windows "point of view", and am currently learning the ins and outs of Windows myself.

I mean, i had a Windows box, but never really used it for anything much more than iTunes (and it couldnt even run that) so i generally didnt bother with it.

My first true computer was a Mac, and I kind of "got it" straight away. Something that cant really be said for my experience with Windows.

i reckon I ironed out most of my OSX "noob" errors within about two months. i used it for about a year and a half, then I joined this forum, and now I know about 75% more about the OS than I did when i wasnt a member. Personal experience when troubleshooting etc far outweighs wikipedia articles when it comes to learning in my opinion.

Man, I always seem to go off on a strange tangent in posts...

I've been using computers since the days of punch cards. Have worked on just about every machine and OS out there - but have never had much experience with Apple (although my Uncle had an Apple II that I "dabbled" with).

In February, right after my father-in-laws funeral, my mother-in-law decided to by a MacBook Pro - they haven't had a computer in the house in 15+ years, and she decides to buy a Mac. Of course, I got to set it up. LOVED IT!

In March of this year, my PC bit the dust (the controller card blew 7+ years old). While fixing it would not have been an issue, my wife and I decided to just replace it. After some consideration, we decided to get an iMac. I took to it like a fish to water and fell in love from the first "chime". Then in April, having finally found what I have been missing all these Windows years, replaced my HP laptop with a MacBook Pro.

So, I have been a switcher for only 3 months. And I threw away my rear-view mirror because there is no looking back ! !
