I would have to buy all of those movies again on DVD, rip the DVD and then store them on a hard disk. The benefit would be that I could share the content with students who were absent, but that's about it. Because of that, as well as the fact that my games run much better, I hold onto Windows.
Having had a recent Mac for a while, I will be the first to admit thatI had 33 years of investment in Windows. I started with 3.0 in 1990.
the experience using their laptop is stellar, and even better if you own
other Apple hardware. It has power, battery life, excellent transitions
from iPhone to Mac and back depending on what it detects you are doing,
and so on. MacOS also doesn't bother you, is relatively stable, it's
quiet, and seems to respect your privacy a lot more than Microsoft does.
If I didn't already have so much invested in the Windows environment, I
would happily transition to the Mac.
10 was the first version of Windows that did not interest me. 11 was what
drove me to a Mac full time. But I have had a Mac Mini for many years, just to
"keep up" with Macs. It still works fine, even though it is an ancient 2014
model with an Intel I5 and 8 GB RAM. But it does have a 512GB SSD, which
really makes it useable today.
The integration between Macs, iPhones and iPads is fantastic. In large part
due to the fact that they all run the same OS and apps. Having Win 11 Pro in a
VM on a MacBook Pro means I have 2 laptops in one. It also means that the MS
"AI" junk in Win 11 isn't going to bother me.
