 First office computer was a MacPlus for desktop publishing. Back then the other side was still in dos command line. To flip the question around, some people are comfortable with Daz Studio and others Poser. Some of each side of the DAZ-Poser divide would fight to the death not to switch to the other camp. I have known the interface and been comfortable with the system for 20 years.  Don't own Nortons, Zone Alarm, or what ever the virus stuff of the Day is people on the other side have to use. Don't struggle with registry issues. I do work on-have to fix winTel boxes from time to time here at work. I happen to think the Mac is way easier to use. Trust me, Mac's  have OS issues just like Windows has OS issues. That said, somebody who started on Win95, would probably have the same comfort level with Windows and say exactly the reverse. With the Intel Macs I can have my ease of use and when required either use Fusion, Parralles or crossfire to run windows apps. I might be wrong, but I seem to remember when Pagemaker first came out it only ran on a Mac. I think maybe the first version of PhotoShop was the same way, only on a Mac. There were other Desktop publishing packages way back then that only worked on Macs also. I like where I am at. It's where I started and I have no desire to switch and can run any windows program when I have too.
