Out of Sheer Curiosity

[rushthatspeaks]

What is it that all the technophiles I know love so much about Macs? Honest question; I've used Windows all my life and so don't really know much about Macs beyond the fact that I can't find anything on them. My only real problem with Windows has been that giving Bill Gates any more money feels insanely redundant. Given that, I'd be willing to switch, if people can give me some reasons why a Mac is a better idea. (Bear in mind that my learning curve on a computer approaches a straight line and that it took me two years to figure out how to actually change my wallpaper, so changing OSs is something of a commitment to a couple of years of total confusion.)
