The reason I am leaving Windows 7 PC is really Dell’s fault. Well, the final straw anyway. When NLE’s became available to me back in early 1990’s my first NLE computer was an Amiga running Video Toaster/Flyer. Amiga went bye-bye and VT/F moved to the PC world and I’ve been living in PCland ever since.
Windows has always been a pain (Amiga was actually more of a “windows” system than M$’s Windows). And the reason why we say “M$” is because it actually costs much more than Apple computers in the long run. At least for professional video production. In the past 8 years I’ve had to fix or replace or have new PCs built every 2 years.
I’ve been talking with Mac users for several months now and I hear things like, “I’ve had my iMac since 2008 and never had any problem”. And this producer edits music for several major bands and movies on it. Everyone tells me the same…. “I’ve had mine since 2006,….. 2010….. no problems…”
When I posted the question “PC vs Mac” for video production, 99% responded “Mac”. And most were old PC users. “Once you go Mac, you won’t go back (to PC)”.
