I’ve got three Macs in constant use and one Windows XP box, and I hate using the PC when I have to.

Even programs that are cross-platform compatible, like Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, FileMaker Pro and Dreamweaver, are far easier to use on the Mac, due to OSX’s ease of use and its font utilization.

I have transitioned all my XP boxes to VMware Fusion on each of my 2 intel macs.

I was underwhelmed by Parallels and the Wine products.

Fusion by VMware is absolutely seamless with cut and paste between the virtual machines.

I still use both of my G4 PPCs with Tiger.

I started the switch to macs in summer of 2003
When I recognized they began to run BSD Unix and not MacOS.

My background is z/OS and Unix both system V and BSD.

G3 blue & white w/ OS 9
G4 iMac 17" 1 Ghz w/ Tiger
G4 17" Powerbook 1Ghz w/ Tiger
Intel iMac 20" w/ Tiger
Intel Mac Pro 2X dual chip (i.e.) 4 engine at 2.66 Ghz each;
5G of real memory and a half of a terabyte of disk w/Tiger.

Two of the macs are used by my wife.

Apple has kept the user friendly interface
but now run it on bulletproof BSD Unix
