Hiya, I am in the process of 'switching' from Windows PC to Apple iMac 24" with all the bells 'n' whistles.

Before I went out and made the purchase I spoke to loads of people who I know with Macs and guess what 99% of them said for their first sentence - yep - It Just Works. Is this a sentence that has become an Apple thing or did they all (12 people) just come up with it - I haven't got my iMac yet but I can't wait. Hurrah, no more reformatting the drive and putting a fresh Windows OS on just to make it faster, no more visuses even though i have up to date virus software, no more, well I could go on and on!

Just curious,

Thanks excited Jono

Hee. Apple uses the phrase, but I think it's a response to people actually making the comment. A guy I know bought an iBook about a year ago, and his description of what he liked about it: "Everything just works."

It depends on what you use it for but I find that saying applicable to the stuff I do.

Windows in 2006 isn't as bad as back in the day but OSX IMO is pretty sweet and everybody should atleast take a look at it before they go out and buy Vista.

The thing is that in OS X everything just works the way that you think it should work. A friend after she got her iBook commented, "The longest I've had to think of anything has been about 3 seconds, I'll pause think for a second, and then notice that it's exactly where I would have thought it should be all along." she used to be a very capable windows user but she wanted a really nice laptop and she had enjoyed using Macs in her school's computer lab. So she bought it and she hasn't regretted it.
I also have tons of friends at school who have switched and all of them end up commenting on how when they want to do something they just go and figure it out they don't have to spend near as long as they did on Windows.
