Is Apple finally going to get the respect it deserves and are people going to start switching?

Yesterday I was walking around the Phi Psi house and I lots and lots of Macs. I also saw two different people walk in listening to iPods. Cool!

Last week iTunes was released on Windows. Andrew already bought a song. Dan said his residents are loving it. And Gary said, "I finally got iTunes working. I'm a believer now. Will spread the gospel soon on my blog." People are going to use iTunes and the iPod and realize how amazing Apple products are. Hopefully that will get them to switch.

Tomorrow Panther will be released to the public and it's already getting great reviews. Exposé alone is worth upgrading to Panther for.

I like this:

"Finally, surely there's value in using an operating system that, well, isn't Windows. Mac OS X isn't just free of viruses; it's also free from copy protection, "activation" (a Windows XP feature that transmits information about your PC back to Microsoft), and pop-up messages that nag you to sign up for some Microsoft database or clean up your icons. When you use Mac OS X, you feel like it's yours; when you use Windows, you feel as though you're using someone else's toys, and Mrs. Microsoft keeps peeking in on you."

Finally, Walter Mossberg of the Wall Street writes why you should switch to a Mac to avoid viruses, spam, and pop up ads.
