When there is someone around praising how great MacBooks and OS X are, people usually don’t understand the arguments. Power users are different – they often build their preference criteria around usability, boosting productivity, speed and, of course, coolness.

Take a look at Firefox Heatmap study conducted in 2010 among Windows users.

Here’s the thing: 94% used scroll bar, 98% used back button in a week. I don’t remember when I used these last time but I am very sure that it was at least a few weeks ago. Basically the way MacBook + OS X (or even Apple Magic Mouse) designed is putting the whole intuitive human-computer interaction experience (e.g. gestures) into a set of products that saves you time.

A quotation from Steve Jobs:

“You’ve got to start with the customer experience and work back toward the technology - not the other way around.”
