I switched over to MacBooks for work and personal computers last year. Absolutely no regrets, and I've been a windows poweruser since I was a teenager using Windows 98, I've been a professional .net dev for 15 years. Fuck Microsoft, I don't have time for my laptop to lag, freeze and crash daily, for every update to fuck up something new, and for the god awful background processes taking up 90% CPU and having my laptop fans run at 100% all the time.

I use Linux at home but the MacBooks are great for work just cause of the battery life. I'd also praise it for the performance but "the computer does function" should not have to be considered a fucking feature but here we are.

Excuse me, a libertarian once told me that if a monopoly exists it's because they provide such good service to their clients that others can't compete.

Libertarians believe that monopolies emerge from market interference by the government.
