I'm not a die hard fan of Apple, but just after working for 12 years with Mac OS computers I can say that I have always liked the way it works much better than Windows. I just hope that "universal" applications will be available a little longer than "fat" ones as it was during m68k -> Power PC change. Their marketing is strange too - it was not so long ago when they showed superiority of RISC based Power PC processors over old, still somewhat influenced by 8086 Intel CPUs. Now it is just contrary situation.
