Switching Teams
I think the title of this post is going to attract some different viewers to my blog. Oh well, welcome everyone who has been thinking about switching teams.
My personal taboo is I have been a PC user since I was 10...That's right!...DOS in full effect...But now I want a Mac. I know what you are saying, "Don't you work at Microsoft?" Yeah! That is where I got the idea. A lot of people have Macs at Microsoft...Just they run Windows on it.
I have several reasons for wanting to switch to a Mac, but they are not the typical ones like Macs have less viruses or nerds have PC's and cool hipsters have Macs. Those reasons are bogus anyway. I can't count the number of high school kids you read about that hack "unbreakable" encryptions, or even the IPhone's dependency on AT&T. I don't care if OS X is based on Linux, people still write worms and virues for it and if it did go mainstream, like Windows, then people would go crazy on it. Also, I know some pretty bitchin' dudes that use PC's and some real loser dorks that have a Mac. It is kind of anti-climatic, but I want a Mac so I can run both operating systems and I heard that the animation software I use, Maya, runs better on OS X.
I know I have probably opened a big can of worms, but what do you guys think? Has anybody out there used Maya on OS X and Windows? Does it run better on OS X? In my line of work, I run into a lot jobs where you need Mac experience. I have used Macs in the past, but I don't think I would impress anybody with my Mac knowledge.
Finally, Steve Jobs was CEO of Pixar...Enough said.
Rock!

I run MAYA on mac and its SMOOOOOOTHHH.
I never want to use PC again. unless Im in another country and my lap is not connected to internet and I really need to get to a computer to deposit money as I would not have a phone to call the bank and a computer PC would be available at an internet cafe that does not have Wireless connection for.
Or.. in other words Never. :D

Thanks for the comment inkstar! I have heard great things about running Maya on a Mac. I will probably wait a little while though to see what Apple has up it's sleeves this coming January with the new Intel processors.
Rock!

Have you walked towards the light yet?
August is a long way from January. Just wondering if you went over yet.
