Switcher switches back
Sunday, May 28th, 2006
Hawk Wings could post stories about people who switch over from Windows and are gob-smacked by the power and elegance of Mail.app over and over and over again.
Aki at Aki’s Blog has given up on the Mac dream 
after four years as a PowerBook user, and is moving back to Windows. And not just back to Windows, back to Windows on Dell.
He mentions price, Java-support and battery life among his reasons, not least “Reasonable tools exist in Windows… such that many of the productivity gains I got on my Mac are now possible in Windows.”
What does he miss? His old 12″ PowerBook has Unix and was sexy, two words that you don’t often see close together.
