Ha. I'm always amused by threads like this.

I built my first computer in 1976. Had a few, but none made sense until the Mac came out. Microsoft was my client at the time and they devoted 1/2 their app dev resources to the Mac in 83, saying there's no reason anyone would stick with MSDOS once they saw it (and of course, Windows was in development, but missing every deadline).

When I was producing the Automotion catalog through the 80s and 90s, I figured out I saved over $250K in production costs by doing electronic publishing on the Mac that simply wasn't possible on a Windows platform.

I worked in offices that standardized on Windows from time to time, and found NT to be a pretty good OS, but nothing since then has been anything less than awful to work with.

I got a Surface last year to see if Windows had progressed beyond the brain-damaged state, but no, it was truly awful. I like computers that don't get in the way of the work, and Mac/OSX does that for me.
