[QUOTE="MJGUK, post: 192533"] Personally I don't think there is much you can do on a Windows box that you can't do on a Mac. There is certainly a lot you can do on a Mac that you can't do on Windows though. I remember looking at Macs years ago and saying 'No no' almost just because of the compatibility issues, but OS X is lightyears ahead of anything else now and the seemless integration with the Windows world is excellent. The only thing you are limited to on a Mac is games, but if you're not a hardcore gamer than that isn't an issue either, there are still some good titles out for a Mac. However, it is important for any young person in today's world to be fully aware of how to function on a Windows machine. So what you need to consider is, if you take away Windows from your household, will your daughter still remember how to operate a Windows PC when she needs to? If the answer is yes, then throw out Windows.....If you think she is still learning Windows and needs more time with it too, then keep it around for a while longer. I used Windows for 10 years and I'm telling you, I could never ever forget how to use it and I used Windows on every platform since 95 at a pretty advanced level. I never use Windows anymore, I touch a Windows machine once a week if I'm lucky (or not so lucky?) and that is probably when I'm teaching Windows (which I do one day a week). Essentially, the important thing is that your daughter is able to enjoy the Mac Platform like you do, but still be able to integrate with the Windows world when she needs to. That is the key, in my opinion atleast. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
