Earlier this week, I listed several reasons that Windows users don’t switch to Macs. Today, I present the following reasons from the same author that Windows users are switching:
- iPod/iPhone :: If you’ve ever used iTunes, then you know how easy Mac programs are to use.
- Apple Stores :: Spend a few minutes in your local Apple Store, and you’ll quickly see firsthand just how fast and easy to use the Macs are.
- The Ads :: Most of the ads are very well done, and they extol the virtues of the Mac experience perfectly.
- Mac Users :: Smart Mac users are slowly and quietly converting their family, their friends, and everyone they meet to Macs.
- Macbooks and Macbook Pros :: Macs comprise about 5% of the overall computer market share, while they comprise about 17% of laptops sold. Macbooks and Macbook Pros are very competitively priced right now, and in many cases, are cheaper than a similarly equipped PC laptop.
- Vista :: While Vista is the best operating system Microsoft has ever developed, but it still suffers from viruses, spyware, Microsoft control, limited hardware support, and lack of (useful) bundled software.
- Design :: Macbooks and Macbook Pros are a thing of beauty. iMacs are now better looking than ever. Apple knows how to design their products, and they know how to sell you on the design.
- Security :: Macs don’t get viruses, and for now, there is no need to run any additional security software on a Mac.
