101 Reasons to Switch to the Mac

5. Faster Boots

A friend and I were in the Detroit airport. A late flight had compressed our two-hour layover down to a few precious minutes. Before boarding a long flight to Japan, we both wanted to check email.

My friend pulled out a Windows laptop; I pulled out my Mac.

My Mac booted. I signed on to the airport's wireless network. I opened my Apple Mail program. I pulled my latest messages.

I glanced up. My friend was still waiting for Windows to boot.

Life's short. Would you rather spend time waiting for Windowsor getting things done on your Mac?
