I too have been a Apple user since the early eighties and recently been wondering if we might be seeing &quot;peak Mac&quot;.<p>I switched to Windows back in the early &#x27;90s and basically hated life until OS X and the switch to x86 provided the incentives for me to switch back.<p>I&#x27;m using a 2008 MacPro, I&#x27;m planning on upgrading in the next 12 months, and the current MacPro models don&#x27;t really fit my needs as well as the pricing would demand.<p>Now I&#x27;m leaning towards a Linux workstation but none of the software I have licenses for and need runs on Linux... and there is no Wine like project for running Mac apps on Linux.
