You write me the few applications I need to use that are currently (and probably forever) Windows ONLY programs and I will gladly stop using Windows of any kind or flavor FOREVER.
Nope. I have found non-Windows equivalents for everything I need. Well, I think I did the smart thing by not getting sucked in to the Windows black hole in the first place. Your mistake was allowing yourself to become dependent on MS.
Having used the Amiga first I know what should have been our computing past, present and future. Having used my PowerBook and now MacBook and MacOS, I know that present day computing does not have to be as bad as WindowsXP or Vista currently are.
This is true. I more or less went from Commodore to MacOS way back in 92 or so. I reviled Windows because MS has been upto the same shady nonsense since the beginning. Everyone laughed at me now but now those same people are kicking themselves and cursing Windows 15 years later. If only people had listened to me in 1992.
I say again, if I could figure out how some people are able to run MacOS on their non-Mac PCs, I would install Tiger, or Leopard on my Dell XPS 700 and run the couple of programs that I can't do without (and are Windows only) through Parallels, or VMware and never regret or miss using anything else on WindowsOS.
Again, your first mistake is to have gotten caught up in the black hole. By the way, OS X on a Dell is flaky as crap. Your best bet is so wipe Windows for good and use Ubuntu or Fedora Core 8.
I am actually hoping that MacOS continues to increase is pitifully small market share so that more developers will write programs for it, or at least the ones I need.
What programs are you referring to? There is no application worth suffering through Windows for!
