I bought a Macbook 5 years ago but sold it within 6 months. I found the OS (as with most Apple products) to lack the flexibility I require. I've been using PCs since the mid 1980s and have no plans to change. Currently own 2 17" Dell Precision laptops and a netbook for traveling.

May I ask how does OSX lack flexibility? The only thing more flexible I can think of is building a gentoo install from scratch; all of the underlying OSX stuff is open source...

OS X at home and Win 7 on my work laptop. Prefer Win 7 for work only because I like Office 2010 vs 2011 and because of Windows only programs
