I am sure for some people it is a great way to go. I have never used a Mac but find that some people have a strong preference for them. As a psychologist, I wonder if there are certain personality characteristics or certain brain function styles that prefer the Mac OS. We have a few SOS customers who use our products in a virtual machine, but even most of our customers who prefer Mac use our products on PCs. All that said, the screen real estate would be the same and multiple monitors would increase ease of access no matter the OS. Thanks for adding your comments.

But seriously, after switching, I find myself fighting much less with my system. I have to run an XP VM (virtual machine) for a couple tools I need for my job, but otherwise everything else is native or via Java. -- M Not an option for everyone, but my productivity was increased by going to a Mac.

It will be very helpful with my real estate websites, software and applications, as well. It should save me a lot of time and aggravation. Thanks! Kathy,
