I tried the switch and gave up in less than a week. Outlook is lot more than 'mail' program. I run project manager, Autocad, CRM software(s). I tried what equivalents I could find for Mac platform and Mac kept on loosing my work - no recovery option - no nothing. It just cam with 'program has stopped - report - restart. Mac is very nice on games that it somes up with and ability to configure hardware, Wireless access etc but that is all, for everything else I need the PC. It is not perfect but it works. It is a serious machine cf s/ware package available on the platform. Mac is very nice to look at and everything but as faar as I am concerned it is gadget - period. OS is nice but then it has not lived in the harsh world. Presentation is excellent but it is low on delivery. Recently, I was running a lab 10 out of 12 Macs had symptoms described above. I have had 3 similar instances on Windows and my labs are 50/50. Windows is not perfect and I would dearly love to have an alternative but at this stage there is none. You are very naive.

The only thing we actually found useful in your whole article was the desktop background. And thats a actually good. Normally you cant find anything useful in a "how to make the switch" stories. But yours was different because of the background. Moral of the story: "Wallpaper saves the day" Now you understand us.

Why are you so into Apple? They make good products... but so do a lot of other companies. Frankly, it's boring and really lowers my opinion about your other opinions.
