More observations for Mac

Unlike public perception, software is cheaper for the Mac. Even OSX is
not sold splintered into different versions like windows.

Office 2008 is far more cheaper than office 2007 for the PC.

I get better overall program performance on OSX rather than windows.
That said, I personally like the default OSX mail client better than
MS Entourage.

Seems that MS ventured into OOP programming after that was popularized
by Steve Jobs & Web objects which powers iTunes.

I think if Apple follows the current path of the iPhone and improve
OSX similar to that, nobody will buy windows again. But, that is a
while away and also means Apple will gave to provide an easier
migration path from PC's to the Mac, by combining the best of both
worlds.

These are simple stuff like keyboard shortcuts, window maximization &
minimization etc. Apple has to swallow the bitter pill like they did
with MS Exchange. If they do so, and deliberately attempt to be more
popular, then they can definitely beat the PC at it's own game.

This is what the iPhone has taught me.
