I have been using my Mac(macbook that is) since last november now, and I have to say that I have turned on my windows comp four or five times since(for gaming purposes).

I can do anything and everything ALOT faster and easier on my mac than I can with windows. And I often find myself straining to use windows computers when I get on them from time to time. I miss the little stuff on mac. Like today I had a thumbdrive in a windows comp and before pulling it out I had to eject it, went through the long windows way of "safely ejecting" the thumbdrive; were as on mac i would just drag the icon down to the trash, or hit the eject button in Finder(or better yet "Command+E"). Things like that ups the frustration level of using the windows computer, after using a mac.

About the hardware. I have seen my macbook run twice as fast as windows computers that have better specs than me. In my head that says that you might not be getting the best hardware for the price, but the software is a whole lot better at running the hardware.

I also have found that there are more useful free apps(lets not go into how easy it is to install something small) that are easy to use than I ever have on a Windows.

If you are looking into using a computer for productivity, than get a Mac no doubt, but if you want games and CAD ether get a high end mac or buy your self a windows computer.

P.S. Someone on my team got the highest possible config for the macbook pro, and that things runs windows like nothing I have ever seen, but he states that he almost never boots up into windows.
