Well, I'm not really experienced with any of the Apple products. I have been building my own systems for years and I find as each year passes it gets easier partly to my experience but mostly because of improvements in design.
I very much liked Windows 7 and don't really feel a need to jump ship. If I ever used an Apple desktop maybe I would like that more, but my liking it wouldn't eliminate the obstacle of cost nor would I like to pay much more for an incremental improvement.

If I were as the OP, offended by the Windows 8 product for some personal reason I would simply switch to linux which I have used on and off for many years.

Truthfully, I wouldn't have posted if the OP's reason for switching had been for a positive move to Apple rather than a negative response to Windows 8.

I've been building my own systems since the mid-90s. I don't think that using Apple products and building PCs is mutually exclusive in the slightest. Aside from giving access to excellent laptops and user interfaces, it also broadens one's technical knowledge past what comes out of Redmond, not a bad thing IMHO.

As for the second point, this is very well said, I couldn't agree more:
