OK, I hope I didn't scare you off. I do like OS X and all the Apple apps. But unless you can convince yourself that there is some compelling reason to move then why would you? I just don't know what that reason is anymore.

IHSC - As far as buying a Mac and running both Windows and OS X on it goes, ask yourself this: How much time to you spend "administering" your Windows machine now? Well, you won't have to spend any more time than that on Windows when it is running on your Mac in Parallels. Since you can buy your MacBook with Parallels and Windows pre-installed, there's really nothing to worry about. OS X is useful and secure right out of the box, so you're not going to have big administrative headaches there, either. Updates are automatic and painless, and you don't even need antivirus software. You will have a learning curve with OS X, however. Despite what Steve Jobs and the Apple marketing department would have us all believe, we were not all born knowing how to use a Mac. You'll want to avail yourself of some of the training materials for switchers that Apple has put together. - Allen PS: Nice to see you around. You haven't posted in a while. Hope you're well.
