Macs are ace. I have to use Windoze at work but I choose Mac for home.

Same here. Every day at work it's like I've gone back in time.

We nearly went Mac but Mrs Degs was concerned about file comparability, wish we'd done it now cause Windows 8 is officially toilet.

The file compatibility thing is mostly a red herring I'm afraid. There are some issues with Excel for the Mac being different to Excel for Windows, but it really depends if you're using advanced features or not, most people don't. You can mostly get around this by using VM Ware, with the exception of some issues with Visual Basic.

It'll be Mac next time if Microsoft don't get their act together.
