As much as I agree with you, that's highly subjective - that mysterious draw to Macs. There's also a silent, mutual bond between Mac users as well that is also a draw - the idea you're in an exclusive club. But those aren't really reasons to switch from one OS to Macs.

I actually can't abide the 'mac club' mindset, it's partly the reason I avoided the platform for so long - the idea of being part of a brand 'family' is hideous I think. The association of the fact that you use one particular brand over another, in some way makes you superior to other computer users, is an appalling, but highly effective piece of marketing hype.

Just as a machine to use, I find it very efficient, I couldn't care less who made it.
