Are you a Windows user?

jakoblodwick:

It seems like most Tumblr users are Mac people. But there must be some PC/Windows Tumblrs out there. If you are a Windows user, can you explain why in a reblog?

If you are a former Windows user, like me, you can still participate. Just reblog why you used a PC before you switched.

In my case, I thought PCs were the real deal, while Macs were slow and for posers. Two years ago, the most serious computer users at my company (Kunal and Andrew) were like, Yeah, Macs are so much better. Reluctantly, I tried one and immediately fell in love. I soon enjoyed being a computer user without needing to be a computer expert anymore.

Because I don’t let an operating system define who I am as a person. I enjoy building/upgrading my own computers. Oh and games, I like playing games.
