Partly a matter of cost, and partly a matter of taste. OS X runs like
a pig
on last year's top of the line model, and is none too flash on the
current top
of the line. So you'll need new hardware, plus you just know that
none of
your old applications will work, so you'll have to buy new versions.
And
get new drivers for your peripherals, if you can. And having shelled
out thousands of dollars, what do you get? A confusing new user
interface
bolted on top of a "new" operating system which is based on
Carnegie-Mellon's 1980's version of an operating system from the
70's.
At which point you start to think that even Bill Gates never legged
you
over to quite this extent, and start looking at Windows machines.
