[QUOTE="lovcom, post: 1473170, member: 279819"] I was Mac only during the 1980s and most of the 1990s, then had to do the windows thing because all my clients had windows machines. But as of several weeks ago I am back to macs. To be fair, and objective, (1) Macs are not often any faster then windows machines. (2) Windows7 is a fantastic experience, interface, and is rock solid. Sure it is more vulnerable to viruses, but if one has a good anti-virus program, your impact from virus related issues is nearly non-existent. Win7 is the first and only windows OS that I have come to love. And since Win7, mac no longer has a huge lead in UI. So having wrote that, why did I come back to Mac? My clients these days use developments that can be constructed on the Mac no worries (more so the before), even as they still use mostly windows boxes. And the Mac still has a better UI and OS then Windows, but the differences are not as huge as before....of course since Win8 maybe the differences are starting to grow again... As to switching to Mac from windows, well, I would do what others have already written: Stop trying to make the Mac OS behave just like Windows OS...be objective, and give it a fair chance. What you will find is that the Mac's IU is still a bit better, the mac is still a bit more bullet proof, and Mac hardware is massivelly much better and thought out, so for me personally, the additional cost of going Mac is well worth it.
