Some time ago we featured an interview with an... official Mac OS X switcher. A year later, we found another Apple switcher, James Dorn ("noviteo" for his friends) and we ask him a few details upon the switch. Especially with the recent price cuts on Apple hardware and the Mac OS X Panther release last week, being a switcher becomes "cool" all over again.

Ummm, yeah. Using any version of Windows, to me, is more like going to the dentist. Painful and annoying but occasionally necessary (unfortunately). Linux, BeOS, and other OS's might be more difficult to use, harder to understand, or whatever but at least they're not as just plain annoying as Windows 9x, 2000, and ESPECIALLY XP. XP = Windows 2000 + eXtra Puke. Regrettably, I have to use Win2K for work since I'm a cog in the machine that is Corporate America (TM) and my employer is very Microsoft whipped.
If money grew on trees, I'd buy a G5 Powermac. I just looked out the window and saw some trees. Unfortunately I all saw were some dead looking branches where leaves used to be. Didn't see any green paper bills on them.
