drivers, drivers, drivers.....thats what will make me jump...i got a 6 PCs at home, ton of USB audio/video stuff...no drivers for them, no upgrade!

i also run 64-bit on all of them with 8GB memory, so drivers are even more important

The college I attend in the evenings wouldn't even put vista on the computers cause it wouldn't run half the programs, AutoCad, Inventor, MasterCam, Revitt. Don't know if they will put W7 on or not but I am glad this is my last computer based class!

I upgraded to Mac OS X a while ago. Best thing I ever did despite being a long time windows user. Does everything a little better feels more refined.

I still have my PC for Realflight and FSX but for daily use the Mac is hard to beat.

The hardware is also hard to beat..... Solid Billet Aluminum Chassis and a real glass covered screen. Touch it all you want I'll just windex it off.
