A Windows guru spends two weeks with a Mac

I just found this interesting article about a “windows guru” who spent 2 weeks working solely on an Apple Mac in order to do a comparision of the 2 operating systems.

As with other articles like this I’ve seen in the past, the “windows guru” came away from the experience impressed, and dare I say, in awe of the Mac.

He did find some things a little hard to get use to, which is understandable. Both operating systems have their own way of working and minor adjustments are required on either system, but overall in his own words “Mac OS X beats Windows.”

I don’t think there’s a better advertising agent for anything than having your opponent admit your better than you, and I read a number of articles over the last couple of years where PC writers (of various magazines) have used a Mac for a couple of weeks and come away really impressed with, and in some cases even become converts to, “Macdom”.

Now if Apple would just lower their prices to actually be competitive with PCs they might actually get a much better market share.

Of coarse there is one thing which Windows has all over Macs, which will probably always hold apple at bay, and that’s it’s non proprietary use. Unlike Mac OS, which can only legally run on Apple hardware, widows can be run on anything, even a Mac. PC’s in general also allow you to mix and match your hardware components, where-as Apple is all propriety and that single factor will always make PC’s more popular than Macs.
