If you switch, it shouldn't be for Microsoft reasons, as most of the programs used on an Apple are made by Microsoft (e.g., word, excel, etc.). Matter of fact, Microsoft owns part of Apple. I switched from IBM to Apple and back. My problem was that there are still a lot of programs that are not compatible with Apple, even if one uses Virtual PC. Some software manufacturers do not think it is cost effective to cater to the Apple format. If your line of work does not present this problem, then consider the Apple, it is a great computer.
