YOU WILL SOON BE CONVERTED!
As far as evangelism is concerned, I will admit some bias, however, I
have worked inside Infinite Loop and tend to analyze this stuff with
more than just evangelical zeal. Simply stated, Apple is the most
prolific "R&D house" in the PC industry. But being first with good
products doesn't count for much. Microsoft has built its empire by
following industry trends, not leading them (except for virus
support).
Where the Wintel Empire has succeeded - beyond all logical
expectations - is in making PC technology cheap. How well it works is
secondary to price. And this is where Apple has created its tiny
niche market.
As for PC experience, I will admit to never having owned one,
although I do run Windows XP under OS-X. But I do use PCs regularly,
having little trouble figuring out how Microsoft has implemented
their cloning strategies. Let's just say that the PC experience pales
in comparison.
