Well you can run Office, some macromedia apps and photoshop…

Unless it’s gaming or using it to make Windows programmed business software work (like the one that those guys came here to make for accounting or that one you made on college) then i wouldn’t understand it.

There are super-secret “affordable” features. Included are free Virus protection, a non-hacked web browser, and a 2-yr longer lifespan than generic PC hardware.

And your time, or course. No fidgeting with wireless settings every hour while traveling, or having simple applications freeze/crash.

Talk about a game over scenario for Windows.

Wine has come a long way and it would be exciting to see OS X integrate support for Wine.

I still wouldn’t switch, unless there are also super-secret “make Macs affordable” features hidden in the code.
