Agreed. Macs are intuitive. I LOVE my iPod and iTunes. I used to be a hard-core Winamp user, but when I got my iPod, I never looked back. Things are just thought-out and done correctly.

I'm going to agree and disagree, but not really. Mac hardware is awesome, no doubt, and their own processors were powerhouses doing twice (maybe more) the calculations per clock cycle that a typical Intel processor did. That was also a disadvantage since they were produced on a much smaller scale, and thus more expensive. Also, the OS is --for me at least-- the main attraction for Apple computers.

Windows has NOT been around longer than Apple computers. Apple was the first company to produce an OS with a GUI. They got the idea from Xerox who gave it away for free thinking it had no real-world applicatons.

I love my PC, but my next major hardware purchase will probably be an Apple. Vista has not impressed me.
