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.

"Blue Screen of Death hasn't been around for at least a few year, with the introduction of Windows XP/Windows 2000... maybe it's time you upgraded?"
I have a Bluescreen every couple of weeks and I'm using Windows XP Pro on my ThinkPad T21 laptop. Sometimes the entire OS just gets corrupted after repeated bluescreens and automatic restarts. I tried everything from not installing the Service Pack to changing RAM, same thing, and when I run hardware diagnostic programs, everything checks out fine.
This is whats making my buy a new G4 iBook. I've tried FreeBSD on the T21, but the XFree86 drivers for the Savaga IX card are unstable, screensavers crash the entire OS, and the free *nixes simply don't have the applications that I need. Applications like PhotoShop (PLEASE don't tell me to use GIMP). My filmscanner is also only supported under Windows and Mac OS/OSX. And I must admit, no one makes prettier machines than Apple, and with the recent release of G4 iBooks, I now have no excuse NOT to switch.
