Original OSNews Interviews 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.

Microsoft Bashing?
by Mel on Fri 31st Oct 2003 05:26 UTC

I really do not see how James was microsoft bashing. I am a college student and can honestly say that I have had much better luck with using a mac than with windows. Several times I have been typing huge papers and the blue screen of death appears and completely kills any work I have done. I know there is a feature to save work when this happens, but it doesn't always recover the work. On the other hand I have never had this happen with a mac. I am sure it can, but hasn't happened yet. Also, why is there so much fuss between mac and windows anyways? Mac and Windows both have good ideas and products. I never heard James say that Microsoft was complete crap. He only wrote of an experience he had with the Windows OS. Its only a matter of preference. Both companies have good ideas, but I definately think that macs are now stepping up to the plate to give windows based systems some competition. Thanks,
Mel
