So you switched to a company that makes you purchase hardware and software together. The same company that puts a virtual $500 "Apple Tax" on its machine just because it caries their logo? The company that ran itself on the pride of having fewer viruses than Windows .. then switches to Intel processors and slaps XP on it's machines? The company the believes everyone should be treated like a criminal thus still uses DRM on the music bought through its 'iTunes" music store? Where functionality takes a back seat to design?
Don't get me wrong, if I were in the market for a laptop, Apple would get a serious look from me. What I am saying is that Microsoft and Apple both do a lot of things right, but both equally do stuff wrong. The only difference is that Apple has a cult to back them up at all times, and Microsoft lost that along time ago.
