    you can do all sorts of things on pc's

    i prefer vmware on osx these days, better memory and device management.. used to use parallels but it fell too far behind imho

    and use vmware on my pc as well these days, which is what osx is running in...

    Can I just say here that the first week after I got my mac I was like "what have I done?". However I didn't really know anyone with one which didn't help. Anyway, within a short time I was like WOW how good is this. Now, I think they are the only choice where people evaluate objectively. I've converted all my family and friends, and all are stoked. Just do it.

    Also, I have "converted" a number of fellow IT workers (UNIX/Oracle) and they are all now hooked too. Macs are expensive to buy, but cheap to run.

    just for the other side of the coin I think Windows7 is the best thing Microsoft have done so far, get 64bit version, throw in as much ram as you want, it flys.
    Excellent driver support and even the auto driver download works. I would say try both. Aero interface IMO is so-so but the rest is great and you can turn Aero off. It's taken me probably 2-3 months, not to get used to it or how to use it, coming from XP it was easy enough, but its taken a while to appreciate what a leap it is and how much better than XP or anything else it is. Including that disaster Vista.

    Been running W7 for about 6 months at work and I test all kinds of junk on my PC and it's been flawless. Even had it runnin gon one of those net books with an Atom processor and 2GB of ram, pretty good !

    Essentially what i love about my macs are that everything just works, first time every time with no drams no additional software or plugins required. No messing around with source code it just does what it is supposed to do seamlessly and intuitively.

    Mac or PC

    I was a PC user for about 10 years then got into Macs. I use lots of graphics, do website design and heaps of digital photography. The 27inch iMac is GREAT! It does all I need and more. I chose not to use Windows on the Mac so had to buy Mac based programs. It has been worth it for me. Go for the Mac!

    I made 'the jump' after a life of PCs.

    Bought my son a new iMac 27 and inherited his iMac 20 as a replacement for my aged PC.

    Amazing 'feel' with Mac stuff and, when integrated with my iPhone 3G S, the package is awesome. Love it!

    Mac code is so tight you don't usually need mobs and mobs of DRAM to get things done.

    By way of comparison, I remember the saying "Windows 95 = Mac 87" at the time of Win95's release.

    Never fully understood it until I had a Mac.

    Now, I can't understand why Bill Gates, Nokia, Etc. are still in business.
