A good point if a user is having problems of one sort or another under Windows. However, I know of some Windows users who do have some headaches under Windows. and periodically talk of moving to Macs, but even when they have the chance to, choose not to do so. One told me that it is easy to get pirated software for their Windows machines, and that is their reason for not changing. Another said it was too expensive to have to replace all their software, but as it turns out, she really had very little that she would have to replace, and her version of Photoshop onher Windows computer at home, the potentially most expensive item, was pirated to begin with. It seems to come down to comfort levels, primarily. The lady mentioned above has a Mac available to her at work that has Photoshop installed, yet she refuses to touch it, preferring instead to work on picture files with some lame basic image editor that seemingly came installed on the Dell she also has at work. Go figure. I say comfort levels are at work. Fear of the unknown.
