I agree with everyone here. I feel right now my Mac is more productive. Why? When I lost my vision, I just went to the Mac first. I am now learning how to use Windows 7 with NVDA. But I know my Mac so I feel the Mac is better, and that is just due to I know and what to expect. But, from what I see from everyone, there are things you can do on a Mac, or Windows, or even on a Linux, that you can't do for others. So each to his own.
As a future adaptive technology trainer, I am trying to learn all platforms and have an open mind. But, I do have to admit, I am kinda loyal to Apple, lol. But, I do agree with the blogs ideas how the Mac is frustrating. A lot of things he stated, I have found a workaround, and I am quite happy with this setup. So having VM Fusion, with Windows, and Linux would be the most productive of all.
