Comments on: Macs crash too http://www.drewandpam.com/blog/2008/01/13/macs-crash-too/ A bit of our life, in words.

I wanted the Mac because of the development tools that were offered for it, and I'm enjoying the simplicity of it. But Windows can do everything too, just personal preference. I still love Vista, I still love Microsoft... but I love Apple too. I tried Linux, I really did. But just ended up spending WAY too much time getting it running, and keeping it running. And then finding the tools I needed on it was a whole other story. Sure there are open source programs that do "similar" things to the programs I buy... but please show me an open source Coda, Transmit, Mailplane or BusySync2 (like SpanningSync). I can't even use the latest technologies like Adobe AIR, which is right in the field I'm in... so it's just not for me I guess. I ended up not getting any real work done cause I kept working on Linux (Ubuntu and Fedora). I like the idea and concept, but follow-through is hit or miss. As a web server though, I'd use nothing else. There probably isn’t any reason. I wanted the Mac because of the development tools that were offered for it, and I’m enjoying the simplicity of it.

I don't see any reason to change to anything else. Ryan's been on this Linux kick lately (on the subject of different OS) and has added Linux to both our laptops and our desktop, and it just frustrates me. There's no reason for it, other than "it's different". And I'm always have to restart the computer to switch over to XP. I’ve been pretty firm in XP.
