Daniel Miessler has thrown down the gauntlet:

There’s not much suspense here, as I’m sure you know what I’m going to say, but I’ll say it anyway. Dude, enough already. Spend 60 days in OS X and see if you want to go back to XP/Vista. If you do, I’ll pay you $250 cash, plus I’m donating $100 to get you your first Mac. I’m not even playing, Chris. Windows is beneath you, man. If you don’t go OS X then do Ubuntu. Just do SOMETHING. Stop messing with Windows 95 Version 4; it’s a waste of your time.

Dunno. It’d take substantially more than that to invest in comparable infrastructure. I couldn’t go from using a powerful Quad FX workstation to anything less than a Mac Pro. These aren’t inexpensive decisions to make, Daniel – though I appreciate the sentiment. Even so, do you realize that my life still revolves tightly around Outlook?
