“Apple Inc. has dropped ‘Computer’ from its name, but its computer business is still growing, even if the iPod player is the company’s real star,” Peter Svensson reports for The Associated Press.
“Apple’s resurgence started with the first iMac, in 1998. Little by little, Apple has been persuading people to opt for Macintosh computers over Windows PCs,” Svensson reports.
Svensson reports, “After Apple refreshed its iMac line last week, I decided to test one from the perspective of a Windows user. I found it to be a powerful if not completely irresistible enticement to switch.”
“The Apple experience in a nutshell: Tight integration of hardware, software and Web services, along with great interface design, allowed me to download, edit and upload [a] video [created with iMovie 08] without ever going to the user manual,” Svensson report.
“The iMac deserves to be a strong contender for any PC user looking to get a new computer. If I was looking to replace my PC right now, I would be sorely tempted. Even the Windows software I’ve accumulated over the years isn’t a real reason not to switch, because Macs can now run Windows, too (with some additional software purchases),” Svensson reports.
