Four years and still happy on a Mac

It's been almost four years and I'm still gushingly happy about the switch to the Mac platform. In fact, I turned off all of the Windows computers over 21 months ago. Now it's a couple of Macs, iPhones, and an iPad in the house.

I have an employer-provided laptop with Windows 7 but I only use it for their work. Ironically, I still get the infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) on Windows 7.

On the Apple platforms, I frequently use OmniFocus for tasks, Evernote for notes, Apple's Calendar, Apple's Address Book, iTunes, and Apple's Aperture for pictures.

I haven't written in detail about Evernote, but I love having the ability to capture notes on my Mac, iPhone, iPad, or employer's Windows platform, and have access to those notes from any of the same platforms.

I have Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, but I'm trying to wean myself off of it in favor of Apple's iWork 11.

I even went out and bought an Apple TV to stream content from iTunes or the Internet.

I have no regrets. I pay a slight premium for Apple's closed ecosystem, but honestly the stuff just works. I no longer spend hours tinkering or reinstalling software or drivers. I can't believe how much time I used to "donate" having to mess with Windows-related stuff. No more.

I'm not coming back, Microsoft.
