I crossed over back in 05' shit was dumb easy. Now, whenever I have to use a PC for something I just wanna break it.

Don't fall for the hype.

I have a Dell laptop and we have a mac desktop in my house. Every family desktop we've had has been a mac. My old desktop in my room and my current laptop are PCs. We've always had macs in Fairfax county schools until high school our libraries had some PCs. All the computers in our computer labs at school are macs

I say all this to say that even with all these macs around me, I still wouldn't choose one. They are not user friendly. I love the Windows lay-out. Now if you get a mac and don't run the Mac OS, they have at it, but what's the point?

It's not hard at all. The transition I found was pretty easy when I bought my Macbook. I went back to PC for a couple of reasons though.

1. Apple take forever to update their hardware (this is more of a "so what" complaint) or even software.
2. When they do so the release usually have some sort of problem. It's not until the Revision B start rolling in that everything is a go (I don't really see that so often with PCs).
3. While they do have good customer service, they have a problem of admitting when they fuck up or do something wrong.
4. Most of the software I want to use is Windows only. Though I will admit the Macbook is the second best windows laptop I used compared to the one I am using right now.

Shit I just realized I didnt really answer your second part. lol. Well t/s what do you plan on doing with a Mac computer?

What's make them not user friendly to you?

I plan to use it for my phone, work, docs and I need to be able to carry it around everywhere.
As far as software and things like that...IDK.

It's pretty easy. Keystroke commands are different, which is an adjustment (when i do use macs).

In all honesty tho...unless your into musical editing/composition, photo editing, graphical design I wouldn't make the change.

Work stuff there is one limitation. If your company requires you to use Microsoft Outlook or Access you are boned. Otherwise for presentations, documents, and spreadsheets, Powerpoint, Word, and Excel are available in Office for Mac.The only other advantage with going Mac in your case would be integration of your apple products and easier access to support.

That is probably the only reason you should make the switch, but even then I feel that is an overstatement, at least on the music side of things. IMO the reason to make the change is if you find that you get more work done more efficiently in an OS X environment than in Windows.
