I know a newly-wed Mac user who switched to Windows because that is
what his wife insisted on, he wanted to save money, and he figured it
could not be as bad as the stories he had heard. Shortly thereafter he
was screaming about how much worse it was than he had imagined. He
switched back to Mac and has just bought a Mac for his wife.
I think switching either way brings initial difficulty. I've used a PC
for a long time but I bought my then college-aged daughter a Macbook
Pro. She likes it and can use both PCs and her Mac. But I am at a
total loss when I try to use her Mac, even for the most basic things.
The programs are unrecognizable to me, and I even had to ask her how to
delete a file. Knowing which audio & video formats that can be shared
between the two are a puzzle to both of us.
How did your friend's wife like switching to a Mac? Without this info,
the anecdote only suggests that one Mac user had trouble switching to
Windows (?) and he doesn't care what his wife prefers.
P.S. I've cursed the Windows OS ever since DOS, so I am not championing
it. If I had a Mac, I imagine I would curse its OS also.
