Hello, I'm a MAC switching to Windows Vista

It just came to my attention, just by chance, that some people are actually switching from beloved, cult computer, MAC to Vista. Well, right now I don't remember what I was googling for but I stumbled upon an article (and a very nice blog, by the way) in which the author, Kate MacKenzie, a 15-year Mac veteran, tells us candidly, among other things, that Macs crash more frequently and cause more problems than ever; software and hardware. My last five Macs have increasingly become less stable, less dependable. I wrote right there a comment to that article, nothing biased, nothing fanatical (that's not me), just reflecting on her decision, with a link to this blog. It was this morning, and now, late afternoon, I have not seen it. This news, anyway, are a surprise to me. Actually, yes and no. Vista is basically practical, useful and, last but not least, also good looking. Why not?! On the other hand, it is interesting to know why Windows users don't easily switch to Mac, as the author, Adrian Kingsley-Hughes, put it "Most people looking to buy a new computer want a tool, not a religion." He got 860 comments/rebuttals/reactions! However, for some, that's what it is and when then try other avenues, they are pummeled, reproved, etc.: like this photographer, or this journalist (Vista being just released in 01/07), and other stories I don't actually care about. Really. But, how about these 50 Reasons to Switch From Mac to PC in response to a techie jester's 50 Reasons to Switch from Microsoft Windows to Apple’s Mac OS X. [Kate's blog is temporarily in my blog list, on the left].
