Apple Longtime Windows expert Scot Finnie gave the Mac a three-month trial as his primary machine for work and home use. After 3 months, he concluded: "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."

'He seems to be using the "it just works" argument, however ...'

-- Did you even read what he said about "it just works"?

If not here is what he said: 'When Mac users say, "It just works," what they mean is that you spend more time on your work, and a lot less time working on your computer.'

I guess that's why you don't here Linux users using the "It just works" line much in relation to their OS of choice.

Never heard of this guy and couldn't give a monkey's nuts if he switches. I do however know of two people who switched and both say they love their macs... they do more... everything just works ;-) If I had the money, I'd get one too.

I'm in the same boat. I use XP/Vista at work. Have XP/Linux at home, and spend more time playing with Linux, and trying to make it work than anything.

I'd get a iMac/Macbook Pro, but can't afford it at the moment...
