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.

As a long time computer person, I started in the military in 1970, and almost 20 years of using Intel PC's I can sympathise with the author. And he may indeed have used all the OS's he specified. I have used more than I care to mention and the best was BeOS. With the advent of the new G5 I finally broke down and switched. I speced out a top of the line G5 and Intel system and much to my surprise there was very little price difference.
Anyway, I have been using my new system for only a couple of weeks now and I will say that so far I am very happy with it. I spend a lot of time fixing problems on other peoples windows systems so when I sit down at my own keyboard I just want a system that works. I have failed to find that in amy version of windows. If the last couple of weeks are any indication I may have found what I was looking for. As the saying goes, "Try it, you will like it".
