Yeah, I think that with how much technology has progressed in the last couple of years, Apple's products aren't really standing out that much. I guess the software that comes bundled with is more useful than the junk PCs come with, but still.
The switching-to-Windows thing on the Mac works only if you shut down the computer and reboot, apparently. Yeah, pretty much. So you might as well not bother at all with a Mac if you think you might use Windows-only software frequently enough.
y'know, the blue screen of doom and all that. I have actually never had that happen to me. The only time a laptop died on me was when I was using my dad's old IBM laptop that he gave to me only because his company gave THEM new Dells and it was like, 7-8 years old or something. Also probably half my fault since I wasn't that careful lugging it around.
I roll my eyes a lot at all the people who talk about computer crashes and crap like that 'cause my family's owned a lot of computers over the years and I don't think we've ever had a computer crash. A machine's a machine; it's not going to mess up unless you do something that tells it to mess up.
