I've been using it for about 3 years now (before that, Windows) and I can say that I will never go back to windows. OS X is very fast and stable, and it's still getting better. There is plenty of software for the Mac, the only weak point (and I say this loosely), there aren't as many games as there is on Windows. However, all I play Minecraft which has a Mac version, and SA:MP which I run in Windows 7 using Boot Camp.

If you're willing to spend 75% extra to have a less performing computer that looks nice, you should buy apple.

Supporting reasons other than you use it?

Linux is for the logical left-brainers only, Mac is for left-brainers as well as creative right-brainers, and Windows is for those who don't use their brain at all. :7
It's unfortunate how Linux is stuck in what I'd like to refer to as a catch-22 situation when it comes to commercial software. I.e. Photoshop doesn't support Linux mainly because the majority of the user base won't pay for it - the people who would use Linux and pay for Photoshop don't use Linux because it doesn't have Photoshop.
I tried using it for a while, emulating PS with Wine and all that. TBH it was more annoying than useful. After using a Mac for some time, I'm a 100% Mac user now. :)
Why does Windows suck, one might ask. Well, if you've used a Mac for more than 2 weeks I bet you won't be saying that anymore.
You can't stand in the way of darkness.

Apple is closed system, open systems always win. Apple should abandon the sofware + hardware package, cause they will lose eventually on mobile device market too, it feels the hot breath of google...see icloud, thats a google countering measure.

I like windows.
I hate fan-boys.

But hell, if they're willing to spend extra money for a shiny case and shitty hardware, then call windows users brainless, I got news for 'em.
