My PC is on its last legs, and I'm starting to explore alternatives. I'm intrigued by the iMac, but I've never really used a Mac before. I've read a ton of things about how easy it is to switch, how great Macs are, and how I'll become a better human being, singlehandedly save the planet, and start winning Nobel Prizes and the lottery if only I would use a Mac, but I'm interested in the other side, if there is one.<br> <br> Has anybody made the switch from PC to Mac and regretted it, and switched back? If so, why?<br> <br> My computing needs are fairly basic - music (using iTunes, kinda non-negotiable), photos (Photoshop but I'm open to alternatives there), word processing, some streaming video. I'm not a gamer, so gaming performance is not an issue for me. <br> <br> The one thing I can't find anything on is dual user accounts - my XP box lets me and my wife maintain separate accounts that look/feel completely different, and run some different programs, which is a very good thing indeed. Does Mac offer this or something like this? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.90092 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 10:13:51 -0800 leavingwindowsbehind mac switchingregret pdb
