Hehe ;)

You don't see that kind of hype for microsoft OS's, do you? Even if they spend milloins of dollars on an advertising campaign to try and "WOW" people. =P

I remember that for the vista launch, CompUSA's in the U.S. stayed open until midnight expecting huge amounts of customers.

The few that did come didn't even buy vista, they just showed up to take advantage of CompUSA's other advertised specials.

The only "WOW" that was being said about vista's launch was, "WOW... no one cares."

THIS is a product launch Apple style (Rome):

THIS is a product launch Apple style (Japan):



THIS is a product launch Apple style (UK):

At least 1,500 people queue up for Leopard OS

"In comparison, for the launch of Microsoft's Windows Vista, PC World's Tottenham Court Road store opened its doors to a queue of around 30 or so people. Apple commands more attention."

Lol!

The bald guy in the blue shirt that walks in at 1:45 in that video looks like a skinny version of microsoft CEO steve ballmer.

ballmer probably sent his thinner brother to that Apple Store to see why the public supports a real innovative company like Apple and not his and billy g's (dis)organization called microsoft.

Those classless geeks in Redmond are eating a lot more than their hearts out right now. They may have won the first race in personal computing (from '97 until a couple of years ago) but they'll lose the marathon that's still got a long way to go and is filled with competitors who are teaming up to pay them back for their business practices (Apple, Google, IBM, the entire Open Source community because of m$'s funding for the frivolous SCO vs. Linux lawsuit that SCO lost BIG time... just to name a few).

Payback's pissed, and everybody already knows what else she is too. ;)

Yeah, as you'll see on these forums as well as more commonly among the general public already, PLENTY of people are coming to the same realization that you are... SWITCHING from windows to Mac is the way to go.

At first, like you, they might think they will give their Mac limited use because they've been long time windows users. However once they (as you) realize that their Macs can do everyhting that their windows computers can do (even run windows 100% natively!) and do those things so much easier with the included high quality/user friendly software (like the iLife suite applications), and also with security, reliability, a lot less (if any) investment in 3rd party OS protection/maintenance/restoration software, and for a lot longer time than their windows computers could, THAT is when switchers like yourself ask, "what the heck do I need a windows only pc for?!".

Welcome to the Mac community fremdj! =)

Speaking of microsoft's steve "I used to sell cereal products for Proctor & Gamble and therefore I'm obviously knowledgeable in the technology industry" ballmer and the animosity between them and our/Apple's Steve Jobs:
