I can understand switching to Mac if you are fed up with Linux, but I can't imagine switching to Windows. I use Ubuntu happily everyday without any of the problems that the author cited and when I'm forced to use Windows it is highly annoying. The Macs look great but I am happy in my Ubuntu world. Windows is so irritating to use I just don't understand the reasoning.

I don't speak for the author, but I'd wager that his existing fleet of hardware is the reason, especially the new machine he was complaining about. He can install Windows on that machine and it will probably Just Work.

If he were setting out to buy a new machine and was choosing between one with Windows and one with OX X, he might make a different decision.
