Ditch Microsoft Windows In Favor of Mac OS X Lion: 10 Reasons Why

Mac OS X Lion, which launched earlier this year, finds itself in a rather odd position. The operating system, which is designed to combine all the good qualities of desktop software and mobile software, came out nearly two years after Windows 7 hit store shelves, pitting it against Microsofts operating system at the potential height of its appeal. Meanwhile, Windows 8 is set to launch next year, which means Mac OS X Lion is in the operating system markets version of No Mans Land. And yet, Mac OS X Lion is still wildly popular. Not only are people buying Macs at an astounding rate, but even those who have older Apple computers have installed the software on their machines.

This eWEEK slide show examines why computer users are deciding that now is a good time to make the switch to Mac OS X Lion. - ...
