I’m quietly sitting at Starbucks in Montreal. The place is just PACKED! I mean, about 20 customers had to have coffee in their cars…
As soon as I walked in the door, something struck me: 5 people are using laptops (they’re not related). 4 of those laptops are Macs, and only 1 is a PC! This is something I have never seen before, especially not in Montreal where Macs have never been really popular.
What does that mean? Apple is rapidly gaining serious market shares. Microsoft (and all PC makers) should really start worrying and come up with an offensive strategy to slow down this trend. Darn! Even I, a long time PC user and Windows die-hard, has switched to OS X!
This switch is fairly recent so I am not a Steve Jobs worshipper yet. While I think Macs and OS X are pretty nice, they are far from perfect. MacBook Pros sure keep your laps warm and Firefox crashed earlier tonight. However, the simplicity of the OS makes me love my new computer.
Innovation and simplicity are what drive users. Unfortunately, what I have seen from Vista isn’t what I consider “innovation”, and worrying about not being infected by a virus is not simple. Microsoft must wake up before I tell my mom to get a Mac!
