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.

Please understand, this is just my own opinion. The fact of the matter is, I have used every operating system I did list, for at least a year at a time. If you really want to know, I WAS a computer tech for 3 strait years at a single store. If you want a stressful job, please take my place. You even begin to understand my frustrations until you do. I am indeed an experianced user, who used to build machines & maintain a Windows network. I cannot fight my experince with everyone, because not everyone has the same view as me, I understand that. I am tired of the people who think they are computer techs because they can build a Windows jiggsaw computer. Thiese are the same people who have 5 diffrent types of screws holding the mother board strait down to the metal backing, if not the brass stand-offs. Until you get frustrated with the hassles of Microsoft Windows, witch, you will - Do not fault me for my opinion.
As far as Apple computers - I never said applications do not crash, or are so much better. The application department for MacOS X is still very much a young child. What I can tell you is, I am not going to spend my time re-loading my computer every 30 days because I upgraded my web browser and now nothing works.
