The speed of doing my work by running around my windows with expose and spaces is the fastest "browsing around" interface I have ever used.

People who rag on Mac make the joke of us liking shiny shit, the real magic of the mac happens in the terminal and the way the whole system just simply works together how it should. As a developer, the Mac is a fucking dream and windows simply can not compete unless you are coding PC games. I was a windows user for 13 years, and if I ever need it, I just switch over to my copy of XP with a click of a button. However, I have no reason to do so, and since the day I installed XP 6 months ago, I have not yet used it.

I have no beef with Windows at all, Windows 7 has improved dramatically, but I still feel it being a distance behind the Mac. Apple is constantly moving forward and leading the way with innovative ideas, not many companies around are doing that, especially Microsoft, so I will gladly dedicate my cash flow towards new Apple products.
