Too Long; Didn't Read
A disclaimer first, though: I am absolutely <strong>not</strong> advising anyone to ditch Apple; on the contrary, I’m a bit annoyed whenever I see people evangelizing about how their solution is the best and should be generally adopted by everyone, heretics and believers alike. No. If you’re happy with Apple, use Apple. If Windows is the thing for you, keep using it. But, in both cases, make sure to read the EULAs at some point, just so you know what you’re signing up for ;-).
