The Reg has an article on 10 reasons to purchase a Mac from Apple. I’m pretty much hooked. I refuse to go to Vista with all of it’s let me help you attitude problems. I hate operating systems that will not let you do what you need to do on a computer. That puts the power in the OSes hands and not the user’s. That’s just philosophically wrong.
