I have a Macbook Pro. I switched for a few reasons:

- Not to get so used to Windows as to have difficulties switching later. I felt I had been using only windows for too many years.
- Vista didn't look very appealing, even though I have it now in a desktop at home and it is not that bad.
- I wanted to force the IT guys at my company to have web-based, platform independent applications to run the business. If thought that if we all had PCs that would not happen since at some point if you don't have to it is easier to go platform specific.

So far I'm happy but not ecstatic. OSX is clearly nicer than windows, but no quantum leap. And it is annoying that Macs stick to not offering common sense improvements for the sake of being different. The single button in mice and not being able to maximize windows being the most obvious.
