Comments on: Mac Share of Surfers DOUBLES in 8 Months… http://www.applegazette.com/mac/mac-share-of-surfers-doubles-in-8-months/ Apple Gazette - An Apple Blog Sun, 14 Mar 2010 05:25:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Kevin Armstrong http://www.applegazette.com/mac/mac-share-of-surfers-doubles-in-8-months/comment-page-1/#comment-76504 Kevin Armstrong Wed, 16 Apr 2008 22:56:10 +0000 http://www.applegazette.com/mac/mac-share-of-surfers-doubles-in-8-months/#comment-76504 I just purchased my first Mac, on a whim. Vista was the last straw for me... You see, I am an IT guy. I run an IT department for a government agency in Ohio. I have been using computers for about 28 years since the first home computers made their way onto the marketplace. The majority of my experience has been on the x86 platform. For years, I have scoffed at Mac users. I guess I never realized what I was missing. As I sit here and type on my new Mac, I can't help thinking what a nice OS this is. After about 12 hours of mucking around, I have finally figured out most of the simple keyboard shorcuts and tricks. I think I finally know why Microsoft has made Vista look and act so much like a Mac... because this think is pretty cool. Maybe one day MS will get their OS to mimic the Max 100%. Until then, I'm glad I bought the real deal. Now, off to replace the kids PCs with Macs, too. I just purchased my first Mac, on a whim. Vista was the last straw for me…
