I do for many reasons.
1. More user friendly
2. More efficient
3. More reliable
4. No need to worry about viruses or spyware
5. Overall higher quality operating system

2, 3, 4, and 5 are completely on the eye of the beholder! Heck, 1 is pretty much too. One mouse button is a frickin' drag. All it means is that it takes you more clicks through more menus to get to the same place. It makes right-clicking look like a god-send. Macs? Definitely not for me...
From the several workstations I've built the past couple years running XP Pro, I have yet to have one of them crash. I monitor installed software and make sure there is careful internet browsing. As long as the "user" is good to the PC, the PC will be good to the user.
You've just bought into the recent hype about Macs. Truth be told, even Macs can get viruses, spyware, and crash. It happens all the time. I take it you just bought one. Wait a little while. There are script kiddies out there that have something against Apple for one reason or another. Just as you face with Windows, that pretty little Mac can get infected too if you're not careful enough.
Speaking of "pretty" -- that isn't always something to strive for. Wait until you want to upgrade or replace a part in that pretty little box you have. Haha! Then you'll see that proprietary parts at a high cost is the only option you have!! Why is it that Mac converts feel the need to convince others to tag along? If the world saw any reason to, it would. No need to stand up and cheer...
Happy Mac-using, pahtner!

the biggest project new MAC purchasers have is they before everything have a not hassle-free time getting as a lot as speed, on account that they're often conventional with homestead windows products and gaining understanding of each of the recent MAC classes in a hurry is somewhat overwhelming... yet you've already used a Mac, so this isn't a project for you... in case you pick the Mac opt for it... and don't be nerve-racking about any unmarried ingredient that could be an annoyance - there are not any pcs in the international that do not have some thing it really is annoying about them...

I'm a Windows user since 95 and I have had some early experiences with Macs and came back to Windows.....HOWEVER ever since OS X I've been thinking I'd maybe give it a try again all my friends that are Mac nuts are just loving the OS and the speed. Now the 'Intel' Mac will run Windows as well as OS X now I'll have the best of both worlds when I eventually buy one.

Macs are also just prettier in general. Windows sucks, and Vista is a huge OS X wannabe that's probably just going to end up being even worse than XP.

Mac sucks.
The OS makes me feel like im using a retarded version of Windows that's like dumbed down.
White is tacky idc what you say.
I have 7 Win XP machines in my home running at various speeds and none of them ever crash.
Mac is a waste of money. Unless of course, you plan on running Windows on your Mac with bootcamp to make it useful!

I've heard a lot about macs but have no experience with them. i have heard that they are more reliable and viruses are pretty much non existant for MacOS, so that right there might be worth it

mac mac mac ... white isnt tacky. its not "dumbed down" its SMART. ive had PC and they suck. too many viruses, you cant DL stuff with out getting one.
with both my macs (macbook & imac) i never had one virus or glitch. im always on it for design and every other thing imaginable. once you have that beautiful mac in your home, you will realize why its WAAAYYY better then PC.

Ok those are no pros at all..Because you can avoid viruses! a MAC is just more money to spend.
