I still make a living in a Microsoft world, and I love their server products. I just prefer the Mac lifestyle at home. It helps separate home and work too.
What I have to admire about MS is not their good products but the excellent way in which they have cornered the market.
You buy a new machine that comes preinstalled with Vista (XP is more expensive than Vista) and the whole MS office suite pre intatlled with a 30 day trial, IE, media player, windows, this windows that.
On day one before I had even installed a single program of my own the install on my new box was 18.9GB!!!
Amazing bloat ware and what a marketing plan.....
Oh to think back about MS DoS 4/5 and my awesome 30mb hard drive
