A simple matter really, for me at least

In reply to Jack M. Germain
I started out as a Mac user in the mid 90's, became disabled and quit computing altogether, and am now back in school as a Web design student. As such, I've become intimate with both Mac and Windows. I was a power user with the Mac, and have now become proficient enough with Vista that I exclusively use Sidebar gadgets in lieu of desktop icons and the start menu. I don't even have a recycle bin. I think a close correlation to this comparison would be that of VHS vs Beta (for those of you old enough to remember video tape). Beta was the superior format, while VHS was more widely accepted, distributed, and had the software availability. Even later, with the advent of sVHS, BetaMax was again the better choice for the discriminating user. Perhaps Sunny Bonnell stated it best, when she said, "When you buy a Mac, you're buying the lifestyle; when you buy a PC, you're just buying another indistinguishable PC."
