i have been using windoze-based machines since 1997. i intentionally used it because it was cheaper and i got more for the money. now, the super liquid-cooled dell runs about the same as the super mac.
i think i may choose the mac this time. mostly becuz:
being able to run both operating systems, and gazillions of others is VERY tantalizing, especially for web design.
i love being able to press Option+- and get an en dash across most if not all programs
my hesitancy to switch is caused by a lack of cash and:
i hate not being able to not be able to right click/crtl click on nearly everything in osx
keyboard navigation is atrocious in osx (home, end crtl+shift+ right/left arrows to select text)
but these last two things are pretty small comparatively speaking.
i know how to hack windoze to get the most out of it. i hope there is a good amount of software when i do switch.
