I have to agree on this Apple/Wintel thing. If you already use Macs, it doesn't hurt to invest in a newer model. But if you have thousands of $$$ of software for Windows and want to completely switch, you'll be hardpressed to 1) find the same or equivalent software in some cases and 2) have to dish out another thousands of $$$ to port over - even with competitive and cross-platform incentives. May your bank account be overflowing during such a decision! For instance, MAXON does not have any incentive. If I want Cinema 4D R9 XL w/BP2 on my Mac, I need to shovel out another $1895+$745 (yes, that a whopping $2640!).
C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the
foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg
off.
