arstechnica.com— A hardcore PC user finally jumps ship and discusses how Windows lost its "wow" and Apple gained a customer.

MS is going to be around for a very long time. Imagine what would happen if MS were gone in a month. Think of all those millions of businesses using Windows that suddenly need to find something new. It won't be Macs; Apple wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand. It can't be Ubuntu Linux either; who's going to support it? Red Hat would be swamped.As much as I hate to say it, Microsoft has years ahead of them if they are going to fall apart.
I see a cold wind coming for you my friend... better save some of that money, and crack a few books. Your "influence" is based on concepts established decades years ago. Just a few minor shifts in things and you will be as influential as a master typesetter or a stonecutter. Arrogance now will not win you friends with your future masters. Muahahaha!
This is a LOAD of CRAPPPPPPPFirst he got hist first computer in 1997 then became a developer in 2 years.Also his arguments for converting are WRONG. So this is just some fan boy writing crap as usual. Sad, so angry about being a mactard that you need to make up another reality. Very very sad, but typical!
Holys**t -17 diggs? For saying Macaganda?, dont diss the mac on Digg its blashphemy... Well f**k APPLE, you guys are idiots for wanting a company to control all the hardware so they can rape you in prices, Id rather have an s**ttier OS with customizable competitive hardware then some facist white piece of locked up junk, If I wanted that then Id just buy more 360's KTHXBYE f**kers
Of course there will be shifts. There are ALWAYS shifts. But in today's Enterprise enviornment that shift will not be MAC.Unix? yes. MAC? Not a chance. MAC data center products will never be the standard.

Couldn't disagree more... Xcode and Interface Builder are excellent and way better than anything on windows... not to mention free.

"once I started using Mac apps, I realized how badly designed Windows apps are. "That remark warms me from the bottom of my AAPL shares. :-D-jcr

No, this is way off. They have billions in the bank to fall back on.
