Blogger Compiles List of 50 Reasons to Switch to Mac OS X
Somebody took the time and effort to write a fairly neutral list of reasons why people should switch from any Microsoft operating system to Mac OS X. The full list is available at the source link, but I think you might be interested in what made the top five.
- It seems that the future of Windows development is happening largely for corporate environments and customers.
- Excellent power management in OS X. When I close the lid to my MacBook Pro, it falls asleep. When I open the lid to my MacBook Pro, it wakes up. Imagine that!
- I'm ready to experience different frustrations. OS X isn't perfect, certainly - but I already see its noticeably more stable than Windows Vista has been. Kernel Panics at least look prettier than BSODs.
- There's more interesting, useful, beautiful, and affordable software being developed for OS X
- VMWare Fusion
