On July 29, 2003 I switched from Windows to Mac. I had used Windows as my main computing platform for 12 years, and was frankly fed up with its instability. Well, after 5 years on the Mac platform, today I switched back to Windows, and demoted my MacBook Pro to a lab machine. And I switched back for a very simple reason: Windows is better for business.

Microsoft Office is better. Support for scanning documents is better. Compatibility with mobile devices is better, eg, Windows Mobile and BlackBerry. Business card scanning is better (make that “possible”). Yadda, yadda, yadda. No more compromises and missed opportunities.

So ends the Apple love.

I think this means that Eric will have a smile a mile high forever and a day.

For the record, my new machine is the Lenovo W500.

So yes, “I’m a PC”, and proud of it.
