Reasons Windows Users DO Switch to Macs

Posted in Mac vs. PC, Switching to Macs

Mac_vs_pc_2_2 Earlier this week, I listed several reasons that Windows users don’t switch to Macs.  Today, I present the following reasons from the same author that Windows users are switching:

  1. iPod/iPhone  ::  If you’ve ever used iTunes, then you know how easy Mac programs are to use. 
  2. Apple Stores  ::  Spend a few minutes in your local Apple Store, and you’ll quickly see firsthand just how fast and easy to use the Macs are.
  3. The Ads  ::  Most of the ads are very well done, and they extol the virtues of the Mac experience perfectly.
  4. Mac Users  ::  Smart Mac users are slowly and quietly converting their family, their friends, and everyone they meet to Macs.
  5. Macbooks and Macbook Pros  ::  Macs comprise about 5% of the overall computer market share, while they comprise about 17% of laptops sold.  Macbooks and Macbook Pros are very competitively priced right now, and in many cases, are cheaper than a similarly equipped PC laptop.
  6. Vista  ::  While Vista is the best operating system Microsoft has ever developed, but it still suffers from viruses, spyware, Microsoft control, limited hardware support, and lack of (useful) bundled software.
  7. Design  ::  Macbooks and Macbook Pros are a thing of beauty. iMacs are now better looking than ever. Apple knows how to design their products, and they know how to sell you on the design.
  8. Security  ::  Macs don’t get viruses, and for now, there is no need to run any additional security software on a Mac.
