I'm still a fan of the macs. Switched to them a couple of years ago. No longer have problems. My main bitch with windows seemed to be that I needed to constantly upgrade one thing to work with another. And I'd get about two years out of the CPUs along with annoying as freeze ups on the network.
My last straw was when a subscription software had to have vista to work. Got the vista upgrade and then my scanner and printer didn't work. HPs solution was to get a new scanner. Then the blue screen came up on one the CPUs. I fucking had enough.
I'm not buying hardware to run software upgrades anymore. I still have my old compaq from 1993. It still runs the word perfect and spread sheet. It still would run ProDoc or BankPro software from then. The problem, both bankpro and prodoc are subscription now and only work with vista or windows 7. Fuck that.
The maintenance on the Macs and the network has been nil. I've gone from a couple hundred per month of IT work to zilch.
Don't like the snow leopard OS? Run something else on it. You can even install windows on your Mac. Something to think about before you get rid of it.
