It all depends on what you use your computer for. The whole point of Apple is to get the computer out of the box, plug it in and off you go. I use PCs occasionally and always hate the experience. What the heck does 'an illegal operation' mean anyway?? And several hours to install a new operating system!?!? Takes me 10 minutes to upgrade my OS on my Mac :p
It also depends on what you're used to. Coming from the Art & design industry, Macs are the norm so that's what I'm used to. People who grew up with PCs & Windows would probably feel quite alien when using OSX. I think Moyles can afford to take the risk and buy a Mac and see how it goes....and if he doesn't like it he can give it to me
