Windows 3.0, Windows 95, Windows 98, XP, Vista,
Windows 7. Once I left DOS, I went Windows and kept with it, never feeling a need to jump to the
Mac. I'd even enjoy some lighthearted mocking of my Mac friends about which OS was better. But a one-two combo last week of getting a new MacBook Pro Retina and trying Windows 8 is finally knocking me off Windows as my primary computing platform and over to the Mac.
Before I write any further, I'm not trying to ignite any Windows vs. Mac fanboy debates.
Whatever works for you works for you, and don't let anyone tell you that you're wrong. I'm not saying Mac OS is better than Windows 7 (or Windows 8) with this piece. I'm just sharing how the Mac finally wooed away a longtime Windows user, myself.
The first computer I owned was an IBM-clone running DOS. Apple computers were out of my price range, back in my college days in the mid-to-late 1980s. I eventually moved to Windows and stayed with it because it worked fine for me. I'd made an investment in software that I didn't want to leave behind, and there were far more applications in those days for PCs, especially in terms of computer games. I used to have time to play those.
