It always worked fine for me. It was the little extras in Mac OSX that sold me. Like the self-contained applications (have you ever tried to *completely* uninstall an app in Windows?). And Exposé -- that completely changed the way I work by allowing me to keep lots of windows open without losing track of them. And Darwin is a huge boon to anyone doing Unix development, as I mentioned above. All of those little things add up to one huge advantage in my book. That's pretty much what sold me.

I got one at work becuase it HAS to work, and now I'm saving up to get one at home too, because I don't want to fight my computer anymore. Stuff just works better when the same company handles the hardware and software. Until Google takes over Microsoft, I'll be a Mac-head. I never used to like Macs, until WinXP came out.
