I was a PC user long ago, and I moved to mac _because_ it felt like a tool built by a master woodworker (so to speak) as both a general user and a dev. When I first got any PC, I always had to do a fresh install of the OS to clean out the adware, regularly run some cleaner on the registry, and if it was a laptop, it was unpredictable what would happen if I closed the screen to name just a handful of sources of frustration. When I tried a mac, it really "just worked". You get it, you open it, and you're running. If you need to, close it, and pick up where you left off when you open it next. My current MBP is 4 years old and feels as snappy as day 1, and I've had no part in maintaining that. As a dev, I have a *nix environment right out of the box, which is incredibly helpful. I'm hoping Microsoft has finally relieved some of those frustrations and gotten these things right as well.
