At least the guy listed the downside of the switch also; quote:

"But being a Mac user is not always wonderful and happy. At times it
can be frustrating.

Macs are more expensive than Windows computers. The price gap has
narrowed, but you'll still pay a premium for an Apple computer, just as
you pay a premium for an iPod compared with competing MP3 players.
Also, keep the "conversion costs" in mind: You might want to buy
Microsoft Office for the Mac, besides any other software you might
need.
Then there's the software availability issue. Many programs, games in
particular, are not Apple compatible."
