If you own or use a Windows PC there are some good reasons to consider a Mac. Here are some links that will help you understand the differences.
| See How Big Business (Banks, Suppliers, etc) are switching to the Apple/Mac platform. Business and other large institutions are the last group to try new technology. When it comes to computers you can look at the consumer area to see what businesses will adopt in the future. Well, consumers are switching from Windows to Macs in a significant way.

Eight financial reasons why you should be using Apple Macintosh:
|
As it became increasingly useful for Mac users to emulate Windows or work in shared environments, the Option key on Macs became equated with the Alt key on PCs, and the Command key was associated with the ineffectual Windows Start button.
Microsoft
now has no way to undo its mistake of mixing up control and Command,
meaning that users moving between the Mac OS and Windows have to do
some extra thinking to know which key to hit, a problem that is
particularly annoying in a virtual environment.
Since
Mac keyboards no longer need to support the idea of the Apple II's Open
Apple key, and since non-technical users had no way to guess that the
Command key is represented by an Apple logo and a propeller, the latest
keyboards now simply have the word “command” on them.
And so it is that Apple keyboards now lack the Apple logo, while PC keyboards have a Microsoft logo that does little.
