I'm not sure what Jobs ever did for the world? Those that I've known do it because they've needed 1 - 3 pieces of software that were windows only; though much preferred everything else to be MAC - most especially the main OS - for all its positives. Those people I've known who've moved from Windows to MAC - have never regretted the move. Most especially the photographers, graphic designers and video folks. I have no interest in a MAC vs. Windows debate here. Matters not at all to me what equipment people use to do what they do. Simply trying to answer the questions; based on my personal knowledge of working people I've known. I've never met a person who moved from MAC to Windows. I've met a whole lot of people who moved from Windows to MAC. In the world of video editing people have moved from MAC to Avid (and other editing systems) then back to MAC. I'm not sure what the video editing system of choice is at the moment; I've sort of dropped out of that game.
