Windows Expert Jumps Ship

An anonymous reader writes to let us know that Scott Finnie, Computerworld's Windows expert, has given the final verdict to Windows after 3 months of using a Mac. And the verdict is: "Sayonara." Finnie is known to readers here for his many reviews of Vista as it progressed to release. Quoting: "If you give the Mac three months, as I did, you won't go back either. The hardest part is paying for it — everything after that gets easier and easier. Perhaps fittingly, it took me the full three-month trial period to pay off my expensive MacBook Pro. But the darn thing is worth every penny."

Re:"Windows" versus "A Mac"?

Or, ya know, you could use BOTH. Shocking.

I'm sticking to Windows

I understand that OSX is a solid alternative to Windows, but better stability and security is not going to make me switch. I want the same operating system my friends, parents and neighbours have. It may sound ignorant but it's not.

Although Macs are great (I've had a Macbook, btw), there are still too many issues that need to be solved first. For starters, I enjoy computer games every now and then. Also, despite the fact that Apple does great hardware, I'd like to see third party vendors create Mac hardware too. That's the great thing about PCs. There's endless stuff for and around your computer that is restricted to PC usage.
