Comment Form factor is not why I'm switching (Score 1) 1084
But here's why FWIW:
I want/need a new computer, but don't want to drop a big dime on it
I need to learn PHP and MySQL
I prefer to learn those things on *nix
I would like to learn some UNIX
I don't have the expertise to build my own box
I prefer a "package deal" to get me started
And I'm perfectly willing to admit there is a "cool factor" I'm responding to. If people think that Jobs is partially trying to target some developers who have previously done all work on Windows, then that's me. But as I've told all the Mac-zealots I know, I'M NOT A FRIGGIN' SWITCHER!
