I feel so strange about this. On one hand microsoft stepped up their attention to individual professionals (e.g. designers, developers, etc., more or less like Apple 15-20 years ago) and apple seems to forget them. On the other hand, microsoft is infamous for privacy, for their forced upgrades, their updates, whereas apple emphasizes privacy. I like macbooks as laptops, but on software front apple seems to rest on their laurels and developers seem to use macbooks, either because unix or there's more money in App store than elsewhere.
