Poor guy, I don't think they should have downvoted you. Have an upvote. Btw, I can't stand Apple. Not my style, not my thing. Tried to convert several times and went straight back to Windows. I hate the whole authoritative cult like brand.
My decision is based on the new flat UI I've seen already working on Google's Gmail and YouTube properties as well as Microsoft's. They're not perfect but they're definitely heading in a better direction with flat ui. If I recall, Microsoft sort of started it with the Windows Metro look, then Google really sealed the deal by converting gmail and youtube into flat ui sites.
It's interesting that you consider YouTube a positive example. During their flat transition they seem to have thrown out many features that I consider important for the platform. As an example, I lately can't figure out anymore how to jump from a video to 'more from this user'. They splat their semi useful recommendation everywhere instead.
