Quite a load here.

I switched to Mac for my personal development in 2001 but still used Windows at work. I have found over the last couple years that I have been migrating back to Windows for quite a few things. For me personally, I find the UI in Windows to be more productive and faster. The features Apple has been adding are not things I'm very interested in and I haven't been using my 2009 MBP for much anymore except syncing with my iPhone. A number of Linux VM's are always around for development work and if I can do it all now in Windows, I'm all in.

I've been holding off buying a new laptop and, if this new feature works as advertised I will not be buying Apple.

Haven't had malware in years. Vista and Windows 8? Advertisements? Future shit and other awfulness you can't remember? Yeah those really sound like valid points.

You didn't substantiate those points, so there's nothing to really counter.

Seriously, you just asked someone for a counterpoint to "other stuff I can't remember".
