Does anyone regret having switched from PC to Macintosh?

Absolutely Not!!! I have had an IBook for about 4 years now and have had no problems. I still have my PC but never use it. Mac's are way easier to use - rarely have the same problems as PC's and if you have any problems Apple has incredible service. What I am hearing about their latest releases are awesome. I'd say take the leap - never heard anyone regret it.

I installed it on my friends computer (because my computer wouldn't handle it) and got bored with it after an hour.\n\nIt reminds me a lot of Mac OS X. Vista and OS X both have an instant search, both now have "widgets", and it seems Vista is trying to copy OS X's interface.\n\nThe only thing I like was how they combined Windows Media Edition Center in with Vista... That's about the only thing helpful with the public wanting to use their computer as entertainment center.\n\nThe thing I noticed (and is going to make people mad) is trying to use what was Outlook Express on Vista. Anyone who doesn't know what they are doing and trying to set up the POP3 and all that information to get their e-mails, will likely not use that program. (For the life of me, I can't remember what the e-mail program is now called.)\n\nI own/run XP, but I have messed around with a Mac at my friends work, so that is why I know of Mac OS X. I'll stick with XP until I get a new PC computer in the future and they fix all the kinks out of Vista (about a year after it's release).

sad to say, but you have essentially shot yourself in the foot by buying a Mac if you are the only Mac user on your work's business network ... check with the system administrator, since he is providing the Mac support, he should know how to resolve your issue.  ... Buying a system that handicaps you at work is one quick way of making yourself expendable, not recommended and it wont endear you to anyone that has to share files with you or support your O/S when everyone else is using PC's

stop kidding , PC and Mac don't have compatibility on most things

I would suggest getting somthing used.  Mac's tend to be quite a bit more expensive than Windows PC's, and because of their inginutity and design they don't really have a 'cheap' model.  Look in the papers and perhaps online...maybe ebay, for something used.

If you like Windows at all, you'll love the Mac OS as soon as you get used to the differences. Give it about three weeks and you'll never want to go back to Windows. \n\nMicrosoft Office is considered by many to be better on the Mac than the PC version. \n\nOut of the box, Mac's can print directly to PDF files and view them with Preview or use Adobe Reader, so Mac PDF support is better than on the PC.\n\nI'm not sure about SPSS, but if you do need to run Windows applications, you can boot into Windows on the new Intel Macs (Bootcamp) or run Windows from within OS X using Parallels.\n\nHere's a good place to go with Mac questions:\nhttp://forums.macosxhints.com/

Well heres my opinion, a PC is better then a mac in almost every respect cost, games, programs, development of new stuff everything. So now what Apple is trying to do is become more comman among people who want a computer but are willing to sacrifice everything a computer is. By everything thing a computer is I mean the level of customization that a PC has. Mac is now being marketed to people who want a computer but don't want to have to think about what they are doing. It's kinda like how fast food places sell toys that are for kids under 3 years old, mac is trying to sell computer the same way to people who aren't ready for a PC.

Mac but the upgrades are a nightmare!

Yes.  I used to be a PC user until I saw the light.  The great thing about Macs is that everything just works.  It's easy to use and I don't have to worry about viruses (Not as much as I would using a PC anyway).

Yes. It is stylish, easy to use and is far less prone to viruses. I can and do send documents from work (pc IBM compatible) to home and back again with no problems although I do occasionally have to tell the computer at work which program to use to open it.\n\nI would have a Mac each and every time - no contest.

Mac commercials make you think that PC's are bulky, repetitive, and way behind. What's ironic is that Apple recently ditched IBM -- the decade-long manufacturer of their CPU technology. They switched to Intel and the "x86" platform. So much for being unique and innovative. The move admitted that they are chasing the PC.\n\nThe truth is that there is nothing a Mac can do that a PC can't.\n\nThough Macs are generally better out of the box and easier to use, by no means are they more powerful. How can they be now, especially if at the very core you have a PC component (the x86 CPU)? Plus, if a Mac breaks down, good luck repairing it yourself. Most of what makes up a Mac is proprietary. With a PC, it's the complete opposite. That's the other side of the story you don't hear a lot about. It gets expensive buying parts straight from Apple.\n\nEspecially now that Macs have changed their platform to become more like a PC, what reason is there anymore to have this debate? The only thing left to discuss is the Mac OS vs. Windows. Since the hardware is nearly identical, why pay for a system that goes out of its way to restrict you from modifying it? The PC is the way to go if you want the power to customize. There are more upgrade options at a lower cost.\n\nNothing against Mac's overall - I just think they're a pretty package with hidden maintenance costs.\n\n\nOnce you move past comparing the hardware, Macs do seem to have a bright future. Although I would still go with a PC at this point, Apple has a lot of multimedia editing applications that are already fine-tuned for systems with multiple processors. When all the bugs are finally hammered out so that everything runs smoothly in the x86 architecture, getting a Mac with dual-CPU's would be a great option for the audio/video enthusiast.

I've had a Dell.  They are good but then I was converted to a Mac.  Seriously, they may cost a bit more but are soooo easy to use and have none of the problems pc's have.  A lot of fun, too.  Check 'em out.  I have the iBook G4.

I'm a PC/Mac user, I find Mac is easier and safer to use. with less faults and glitches

I'd go with a PC, only because I'm more familiar with PCs than I am with Macs.
