You need 3 buttons to do what I can do with one, and I am the retarded? Please, keep it at a certain level.
I have been using windows for 20 years, Linux since 1994 and Mac since last year. I got a macbook pro 15 3 weeks ago and I have never been more productive. The new trackpad with the 2 fingers, 3 fingers and 4 fingers touches are awesome. I did not expected to be that good. And I am a command line user. I do a lot of work in the shell, and I like Vi and Emacs. But this new multi-touch is really nice.
Anyway, for a long time I thought about the closed apple platform as a ridiculous concept and I always like to customize my computers and search for the best mobo and cpu and etc. However, apple sells an appliance, and they stand by their product. And everything is working very well. I have already installed a bunch of software packages and use a lot of them at the same time, and I never got a so responsive system. Linux does it very good, but if you load compiz and etc. It does not get close to mac os x.
Another info, the applications that I run are not light... for example, matlab, mathematica, xcode, parallels to run solidworks, plus the huge amount safari sessions....
Well, I hope more people switch to mac and actually spend more time working than fixing and troubleshooting windows computers.
p.s..: and the ridiculous amount of time windows need to install a damn office or upgrading anything.
