You are 100% correct on that. I was skeptical, but also curious. I'd read different things for years about how the Mac OS was better and always wondered about it. I decided to give it a try and now could kick meself for waiting so long to make the switch.

I would encourage anyone in the same boat to do what I did - find a good used Mac on ebay or Craigslist and give it a try. Keep your PC just in case. Just be sure to give the Mac a fair chance. By that I mean don't give up on it after only an hour or even a day - give it a few weeks of steady use. If, at that point, you just cannot tolerate it or feel more comfortable with the PC, sell the Mac and stay with Windows. There is plenty of free software available on the net to do just about anything you used to do in Windows - wouldn't cost you a penny extra to give it a try. A used Mac Mini would be a great choice - you can use your old keyboard, monitor, and mouse and get into the Mac experience for less than $500.
