I have always been a Mac user and am getting more and more questions from friends who are considering the switch. If you have made the switch (Win to Mac) are you happy?

Well I have a pc (win) computers. But since I am majoring in IT, I thought I would be wise to feel out a mac. They got a new one for the lab at school and so I used it quiet a bit. I wouldn't want to change over to mac completely, but I wouldn't mind having both.

Well, I've never made the "switch" since I've owned a Mac since shortly after they debuted (1985) and I got an orgininal IBM-PC in 1983. I've owned both since. I use them both daily since I'm a software engineer and grad student in Computer Science.
But I prefer using my Mac. 99.9% of the people who rips Macs haven't REALLY used one in years. There's very little I can do in Windows I can't do with my Mac, but there are a lot of things my Mac does BETTER than Windows.
The new Macs can even be setup to dual boot Windows and OS X. OS X is "UNIX like" so a lot of Linux/UNIX software is available for it or can be made to run on OS X.
Really depends. If they only use MS Office and are obsessive with programs like Excel and Access. Let them stay on Windows. But I gurantee you, a presentation done in Keynote blows the doors of one done in PowerPoint. And iLife vs. Windows Movie Maker - no contest - iLife makes WMM look like a decade old joke.
But I also write .NET software and build SQL DBs, so I really need Windows for that.
