OMG NEW MAC!!!

It's just personal preference. Some people obviously wont go back if they like it, but then there's probably Mac users who switch to Windows too.

far far far less though. while obviously the whole "once you go mac you never go back" thing doesnt apply to everyone (just like any generalization), i cant think of anyone i know who grew up using an apple computer and decided they wanted to switch to windows. its almost always the other way around. my dad is a computer programmer for a living and we've had multiple windows computers throughout my life in our house, and just within the past couple of years me and my mom have gotten macbooks and my dad and mom have gotten iphones. im pretty sure the only reason my dad hasn't switch to a mac is because his work provides his laptop.

i have nothing against windows, i find the whole mac vs. windows argument to be childish and stupid, but i cant see myself switching back.

Same here so the comment "Once you go Mac, you never go back" is such crap!

Aren't most Mac related comments utter crap? "It just works" is one, and there are a thousand more in their now, thankfully, dead ad campaigns. It's the main reason I won't ever buy an Apple product, the company are so incredibly frustrating The products are fine (to an extent), it's a shame the people behind them spend most of their lives up their self-inflated backsides.

idk if you guys have the same windows phone ads as we do, but those are soooooooo annoying too. and a very terrible marketing strategy.

Nope, thankfully the UK have a strict advertising organisation Apple Mac ads are banned in the UK as they're false advertising. Windows adverts appear on TV quite often, showing off what Windows can do with their "I'm a PC, and Windows 7 was my idea" campaign. The Apple adverts make up claims and spent most of their time slagging off the competition, even though the competition they were talking about appears to be some unknown Windows OS, or they target the consumers of Windows products assuming they're boring office workers, even though the majority of home use Windows users partake in a range of work, play and research.

iPad adverts appear, but they at least advertise something marginally useful. iPhone adverts seem to have died while Windows Phone 7 adverts have taken over - people playing with their phones constantly not noticing what they're doing - something Apple users do all the time but they never bothered reflecting in their adverts. Windows/Microsoft have done a pretty good job advertising in the UK, they don't come off big headed or show off their products as God's gift, they have quite a mild marketing strategy.
