Help, Guides, and News on making the Switch To Apple Macintosh Computers
Switch Story: former Windows user switches to Mac
In a blog post, Shannon McPherson states, "It's official. Apple's Mac OS X is my favorite opperating system." The post on his personal blog provides an overview of his computing experience which went from an Apple IIe, Mac SE, Windows PC, and Ubuntu Linux. He's now a Mac user.
Some of Shannon's noteworthy comments:
"Over and over again I had to deal with the same old Windows crap. Bad performance. Bad UI. Bad experiences in general..."
"I can't say this enough. I love linux. I also love OS X..."
"About six months my employer bought me a MacBook Pro. My goodness, I have not looked back."
"...OS X has an amazing GUI and unparalleled stability. That's what sold me. The GUI is more intuitive & less obtrusive then any windows or linux solution I have ever encountered."
"Stability is better than windows or ubuntu with my experience & my usage patterns. Adding and removing software, tweaking settings, applying system updates, etc all seem to not affect my system's stability. Rarely do I have to restart my system or end applications."
