When Is There a Good Time to "Switch" to Apple?

Posted by Cliff on from the best-time-to-hop-on-the-bandwagon dept.

AllNines asks: "With all the hype of MacWorld and the compelling keynote given by Steve Jobs about the upcoming Tiger and Spotlight, I am thinking about 'switching' (Linux user since '97) but I am not sure the time is right. It seems like the PowerBooks are getting very long in the tooth and the iPods are due for a major rev. When is the right time to jump on the Apple ship? Am I going to get burned by a sluggish overpriced laptop that is updated next month?"

    something does not fit your worldview, so it must be a Troll or flamebait? Great thinking there, Einstein! It is my own experience with OSX, got no axe to grind or anything. I really wanted to give OSX a try - just as the article poster, and found it did not work for me. Please see my other post elucidating a bit on the issues I encountered. If you are happy with OSX and can live with it, good for you. I on the other hand, speaking from personal experience, think it sucks.
