Strengths: No Viruses, No Spyware, No Windows
Faster than my PC
Mac OS X is like nothing else after the initial 3 day Windows-withdrawl period
Runs MS Office
Yet to find anything it can't do that my PC can
Weaknesses: Price
Doesn't come with a 2 button wheel mouse, although you can plug in any USB mouse and it will work perfectly...even the right mouse button!
Summary: After being a Mac critic since I got my first computer, after working at a company that used Macs exclusively, I finally decided to bite the bullet and at least try the Mac platform which I despised so much. Funny for me it backfired and now I'm hooked. After just a month of owning my first Mac, my PC is now collecting dust and I haven't used it for weeks.
My original concern that there would be freeware programs that only come in Windows flavours has been shot since I realized how rich the world of Mac freeware actually is. Also, a nice benefit is that many popular games are now released for PC and Mac on the same date, something that was hardly true in the past.
Finally, I'd like to say that Mac OS X is perhaps the coolest part about this machine. The OS 3D rendering is really stylish, and Expose is not only the neatest thing you'll ever see, once you get used to it, it's hard to live without it.
Call me a hypocrite, but I'm another Mac convert to add to the list.
