An intriguing question...Windows user or Mac user? Depends. One thing is certain. Windows user or Mac user, it is still a Macintosh computer, which is exactly why so many folks who are wedded to Windows applications have chosen the Mac over all the other brands that come with Windows installed. All Windows user that I know who have recently bought a Mac to run their Windows apps on say that the quality of the machine was paramount in their decision. Secondly, they were intrigued about the Mac OS but really knew nothing about it. However, after trying it out, they liked it very much and would prefer to do as much work in that environment as they possibly could. Indeed, and for the most part, the only reason they see to stick with some Windows apps is for job related stuff that may require Windows unless they can find a Mac app that is compatible. Did these folks experience any "sticker shock?" Yes, that all say they did, but after a bit of time spent exploring the computer and working in the Mac environment, along with the option of Windows for work needs, they all say that the extra cost is easily justified. Apple's support alone compensates for the extra cost is something that I have been told by some of these folks. Not one that I know of has said they they made a mistake. Most have said they just cannot imagine ever going back to any Windows only computer. Of course, this is all purely anecdotal. I am sure that there are some who would say that anything Macintosh is something to be avoided at any cost. Just watch the laptop hunters ads to find these people.
