So good luck if/when you do go Mac, superboy. You'll enjoy it, but if you wait five years, you're going to be missing a lot. Once you leave Windows, you'll soon see that it isn't good enough to lure you back. Of the three big OSes, it's the last choice of those who have tried all three. (For each one's own reasons.)

This is the kind of thing that I really don't like. They're computers and tools- and Windows does a lot of things well. I'm a person that started on an Apple ][e, and then went to Mac. Then for several years used both, and once I had a chance to get my own again, went with a PC. And have never looked back. I do plan to get a MacBook Pro- but only because of my iPhone. If I could develop for it on my PC I would. Because Apple really doesn't have anything to lure me back, other than my iPhone. But I can tell you that the majority of my drive will be for Windows 7. Not fanboyish or anything, but it just fits what I do better and works for me better- and developing for Windows is *still* easier than for Mac or Linux, and I've still kept a hand in both.
Generalizations are usually just that, and don't really apply to everyone, and using them in discussions really gets to me. If you like Mac, Linux, or Windows... fine. But to me, they're just tools and I use what works best... and for me, it's Windows- professionally and personally.
OS X crashes just as much as Windows. There are just as many mysterious, "unfixable" problems on a Mac as there are on a Windows PC. If you want to switch because you like the way the OS works on a Mac better then great. Go forth and enjoy it. If you want to switch because you want a more reliable computer you may be disappointed.

Amen. I've had veritable *nightmares* using the Mac with problems. Not that I haven't had them on Windows, but just goes to show that they are computers, and computers have problems at times.
