It is quite rare to see a Mac user give up that platform in favor of Windows when we are talking about personal use of a computer. It is much more likely that a Windows user will move to Macintosh. The only folks who might tend to disagree with this are also likely to be birthers. They tend to disagree with anything that is different from what they have gotten used to. Yes, those Windows users can use their software investment on newer Macintosh machines, so that old line is out the window (oops, no pun intended.) So we are either strictly down to initial financial outlay, or as I have said before, comfort levels. Macs just don't look like computers are supposed to look. They look weird. They mostly look like they are made of metal. Aren't computers supposed to be made of plastic? Aren't desktop computers supposed to have boxy towers in a putty gray? What tha...?? Comfort levels.
