After being a PC user my entire technological life, I made the switch to Mac this past summer.

At first, the learning curve was a little frustrating but I am finally through all of that and LOVING the Mac! I am probably twice as productive just due to the improved performance. My old laptop was a Windows Vista machine and I can't tell you the number of problems and inconsistencies I experienced.

With my Mac, things just work. Period. In 3 months, I had to restart just once due to some issue with my browser freezing. Compare that to multiple reboots daily with my Vista machine.

Also, I do a lot of internet marketing and some web design. The tools available out-of-box with the Mac are beyond superior.

I know one of my concerns was that I would not be able to find certain applications that were compatible with the Mac. So far, this has not been an issue at all. I do a lot of technical work and I have always been able to find freeware, shareware or paid software to do everything I need.

I'm curious what the rest of you think. Are there lots of Mac supporters out there? Maybe you're a windows guy/girl and refuse to switch to Mac?
