I just don't have the time to learn a new operating system, otherwise I would have both.

I am a proud MAC user, I use PC when in a client's office.

I bought a MacBook Pro about a month ago and I love it. I don't think I would ever go back to PC.

I did need to learn new things with Mac but it was fairly easy and quick to learn.

I have a PC both desktop and laptop and I sync it with my BlackBerry which I couldn't live without! I used to be bi-lingual... I used a Mac at college but not since!

Both: WinXP Laptop + Mac OSX desktop (for now).

I have both, but honestly, I am thinking of only providing service on the Mac. I simply do not enjoy working on the PC.

It is slow and sluggish and so archaic in many ways...

I have both and prefer my Macbook Pro.

My MacBook Pro is my primary but I also have a Dell laptop for back-up.

I recently decided to go to college for a bachelor's in Web Design & Development, and as part of the program, I got a brand new Macbook Pro at a deep, deep discount. It was, luckily, covered in full by my financial aid package.

I've had it for just over three weeks now, and absolutely love it.

I still have one major contract that provides probably 75% of my work that uses a program that must be run on Windows, so I've kept my Windows Vista laptop for that purpose. But I literally only have to use it for 10 minutes every two or three days. I can do the actual work on my Mac, and just transfer for file conversion and finalization on the Windows machine. And it's just a matter of saving some text files to a thumb drive for the transfer, so it's not been too much of a hassle.

I just can't believe the speed difference between Windows and Mac OS X. Any time I get on the Windows machine now I just want to scream and throw it across the room!
