Some reasons for the switch:
- The hardware is just amazing. Desktops & Laptops
- It just works - Dealing with PCs & Information systems for a living, I didn’t want to waste time troubleshooting PCs at home.
- It has all the basics out of the box. Not to mention tools that are well thought out and just work.
- After playing around with Tiger on an OSX86 PC for a few months, I knew I had to have a real Mac
- Timing - Not only was Leopard just released but the MacBook hardware with the SantaRosa chipset released shortly after
- Unix based - Having a Systems Engineer background, having some real control over the OS was a major plus for me
- Sense of security - Mac does not seem to be plagued by malware and viruses like the PC. Using Windows, it gets really old worrying about virus definitions being up to date or your Spyware programs working properly.
- Cost - You may be laughing at this one but honestly Macs have come down to a reasonable price. You can buy a Dell cheaper but you won’t get the quality of matched components that just work. (I speak from experience from the office and I don’t always build my own PCs at home)
