After 25 years with Macs, I've only experienced windows through others eyes. The majority of my clients, relatives and friends report ongoing frustrations with their windows machines. A minority, like many on this list, love them and their (either real or hypothetical) economy. Bottom line: if the tool does what we want it to do and feels good in our hands it's the right tool for us. Often that's just a matter of what we're used to. I'm used to Leicas and Macs. They feel absolutely correct for me and accomplish the tasks in the way I expect them to. Others use, love and do wonderful work with Nikons and windows. Enjoy the work with tools you love.
