No.

I used to be completely anti-apple - didn't really have a particular reason why, just didn't buy apple products.

I will admit though, ever since the iphone 3g and that nifty app called Remote, Mr. Jobs got me hook, line, and sinker. For years prior I was trying to find a reasonably inexpensive way to control the music playing throughout my house via some sort of remote control.

The Remote app did that and did it well. Of course the 3g was tres cool as well and there was not really anything else like it at the time. I changed my music player to itunes and enjoyed controlling music from my deck or anywhere else in the house.

Now with the ecosystem Jobs built (iTunes/icloud,music match, iphone, ipad, apple tv, airport express) with his products, there can be no turning back for me. I'm invested, but more importantly, everything just works.

I honestly don't know if the same sort of eco-system can be duplicated using a non-apple solution. Perhaps, but I doubt it would be as seamless and even it it were, I have no reason to change.

This said, for reasons I won't get into here, I cannot see my self ever moving to an actual apple computer from a pc.
