However 5 mins of poor multitasking, crashed Win media player forcing a Ctrl-Alt-Del restart reminds my of why I moving platforms. There are some things that bug me about OS X - changing filenames, setting up printers (bizarre considering the Mac's roots in DTP but has yet to be as good as Win imo), and the move from 10.4 to 10.5 which for many was neither smooth nor beneficial. My much higher spec Win machine allows you to hear the DVD but only intermittently see anything whilst typing in Word Still use my iBook 600 which is quite happy running Word and DVD player together - typing in W and watching vid. you appear to be able to do more with less. multi-tasking - OS X does it very well, Win doesn't (see next point) stability - an app crashes on the Mac everything else carries on as if nothing had happened whereas have never had the same experience with Win - an app fails bringin the whole sytem down in all versions of Win used Generally speaking it is consistent in look and feel, relatively intuitive (one or two niggles as an ex-Win user), stable and secure (though Apple do need to be on the ball with the latter) the hardware looks the part suggesting that thought has gone into its design and production which builds confidence in
Though it won't give you the full experience, atleast go to an apple store and give it a try, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.Īs someone in the process of completing migration from Win to Mac:
My mom's girlfriends family convinced my mom to help me out and get it early with all of our mac-gushing, and here I am
By this past Thanksgiving, I had already decided I was getting my Macbook, though I wasn't going to get it 'til January. The final thing for me was when I went to visit my mom's girlfriend's family for Thanksgiving and played on their 4-year-old Powerbook (and a little bit on her brother's MBP, but not as much), and was amazed at the fact that it was doing pretty much everything I wanted quickly, efficiently, even after being used for so long, which, needless to say, has never been accomplished on any of the WinPCs I've owned. Of course, that's not true for everyone, and I've met people who genuinely hate OS X (to be fair, they didn't actually try it, they just looked at it ), but it is a beautiful, solid operating system built for beautiful, solid computers, for ugly, not-so-solid people like me. You find all these little things that improve your work experience, and you just go, "Wow, I'm sold." and you don't go back. It's one of those things.You get fed up with Windows, and you go, "I've heard Macs are pretty good.let me try them out." Then you get one and as you explore through the Operating system, all the little things really hit you, as well as the solid foundation of the OS as a whole as compared to Windows.
