mac heads

I bought my first macbook more than an year ago. Every day I learn how Mac does things differently and everyday I unlearn the windows way. Mac does surprise me many a times. But moving from Windows to Mac, I've to admit, is still not easy for me. Despite the crashes, despite the busy screen, despite the Not responding task manager, sometimes I just wish I am working on windows. This especially happens in times when I am back from work, tired and exhausted. Well perhaps this has more to do with the fact that am not familiar with the 'Mac way' than with Mac itself. Since I have 3 OS running on my macbook, thank god, I can always restart. So, coming back to the gist of the post. I happen to recently watch a documentary named Mac heads. The year is 2007 and Steve Jobs was gona make the Mac world presentation. Mac heads, waiting all night, representing all the continents sans Africa. The usual Mac great Windows die bashing was on air. And...And...One girl actually said that she never knowingly slept with a Windows user....oh come on! give me a break!....I'm a fan of Steve and I think Macs are cool. But I never thought people would go to such an extent that you make your life's decisions based on whether he or she is a Mac user. Now that's a little over-stretched to me. Perhaps I wouldn't understand because am not really a Mac head. I am just a visitor moving form Windows to Mac and never been this Mac geek who owned these pretty cool G-books. But, I indeed start to wonder what would be the marketing tactics of Apple if Windows were not to be there. Shouldn't they be trying to fix on Mac needing a reboot for almost every update. Even Windows doesn't need a reboot after MS-Office installation. The fact of the matter is, people resist change. change is darn hard and change is shit. Be it moving from Windows to Mac or Mac to Windows, it is change. If you're used to something, you just want to keep it. Mac heads, get real. That's cooler.
