The OS just rocks

It's easy, straightforward, stable, and powerful. Leopard is the anti-Vista and gives you what I like to call "mindless productivity." I can do everything I want at home, work, and school quickly and easily. This was the only OS that could woo me away from Ubuntu. It's that good, and, to my mind, Vista is that bad. Unless Apple really screws up future generations of their OS, I'm an Apple customer for life. I'm not a fanboy (I still like Linux too much), but I certainly understand now where the rabid brand loyalty comes from.

The one place where I still see some softness is in the enterprise, where Linux is a cheaper, completely viable option long term. Same goes for the cheap mini-laptop market (e.g., OLPC, Classmate, Eee, etc.). Where cost is king, Apple will still struggle.
