Been away for a week so just catching up on the posts.
As a sysadmin I use many flavours of OS and up until last year
exclusively windows for personal use, But I moved to a mac for home
because of several reasons,
1. no virus problem
2. hardware is very well built
3. can access the linux underneath to sort problems out if necessary
4. can close the ibook and sleep the machine and it will start everytime
without reboot - try that on windows.
5. Hardware doesn't age as quick so better long term investment and new
prices are very cheap
6. and finally many home users are not logging onto the internet so
often, because it takes so long to connect, by the time the latest
security patches and virus updates have downloaded - it too long just to
check email quickly.
I personally am glad I made the move (I was not interested before the
panther version though) as work performance is not all about processor
clock speed.
On a daily basis I use solaris, aix and windows for work and have used
all systems for browsing and email etc but now I mainly use a 5 year old
MAC.
I personally think there will be a big move to Mac's this year because
of 6, but then hey what do I know :-)
