Interesting article at Zdnet about why Windows Users don't switch to Mac.
http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=847&tag=nl.e539
One of the core reasons that the author quotes is: "The Linux effect"
> The “anything but Microsoft” card that Apple is playing is losing
traction
> given that Linux distros are now becoming a credible alternative.
> Why pay for a Mac when you can load Linux onto your existing rig
> and still be rid of Microsoft? Also, the Linux communities seem to
> be far more open and trustworthy that Apple is being as of late.
One of the reasons that he also quotes is that the Microsoft-bashing in the
Mac camp is putting Windows users off.
Well worth a read - interesting to see that WE are seen as a big reason
why people aren't turning to Apple any more :-)
