If they "have" to use Windows, then clearly they prefer Macs, so naturally
they're anxious to return to Macs. However, Mac users that voluntarily move
to Windows don't go back. The reasons I've heard are usually cost and the
unavailability of so many different software products that they'd like to
use--they eventually get tired of missing out on every product that interests
them because it's not available on the Mac. Adding hardware and upgrading is
also very expensive. It's the Apple way or the highway.
I've always found it ironic that people bash Microsoft for its hegemony in
operating systems, but say nothing about Apple's total control over both the
operating system and the hardware. Apple's minority share of the market is
largely the result of its own obstinacy (read: the obstinacy of Steve Jobs,
who controls the Apple world with an iron hand).

Today, there's practically no difference between Windows and Mac in the user
interface. It's purely a matter of personal preference. |
