I had some time to kill in Chicago a few weeks ago so I wandered in to the new Apple Store. They've done an amazing job giving the entire apple brand this style that's super-compelling. Got me thinking - could I break free from the wintel prison and escape to Apple's utopia of smart design, simple GUI, and powerful unix back end? I wandered over to the sleek ibooks, lifted one up, and thought "maybe I should make my next laptop a mac, just to be free."
And then reality struck. I make a living helping businesses make smart, strategic decisions about their technology spending. Could I justify my purchase to Apple to my clients? Would I EVER be put in a situation where someone's telling me "I can't read that file you sent me"?
I really would like a Mac, but for all of the wrong reasons. Instead, I'm just going to stick with my boring windows machine (some of which are getting very stylish) and show my style with my ipod.
