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.

For me, I'd have to purchase a new version of Photoshop, and none of my PC games would be useable of course.
It's a large commitment to switch to a new platform. I run Linux most of the time anyway (since I'm mainly a coder), so blue screens and stuff are hardly an issue.
What little I use Windows I use for Gaming and Photoshop. Nothing else...
