I use to be always pro Microsoft, not quite a fan boy but close. After spending some time with my girlfriend and her family I started to warm up to a Mac. Her dad's old aging Powerbook G4 which was handed down to her was running quite smoothly after 4 or so years. I had a lot of time to play with it and found it surprising easy to use and quite polished. Small refinements that made it just that little bit nicer to use. So once that Leopard was released I decided that I was going to give Mac a go. So 2 weeks later with some of the cash from my Windows desktop and my own, I am loving my new MacBook Pro. It didnt take long to navigate through the Mac way of doing things. I found that a lot of the great lil pieces of software are usually pretty cheap and my workflow has been great. I am one of those people who fill up the desktop with icons and have stuff all over the place and the Mac has cleaned all that up for me. The design, quality, greater workflow and how easy it was to use is compliments to Apple. Plus the polished front row interface is great for kicking back and watching TV and Movies.
It is still a little expensive but I think the value for money is there and if you can get past the initial investestment it should last quite a while.
