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.

"A message from the Real World(tm): Most people use Wintels, 95% + X actually.
Apple is more irrelevant than ever before with only 1-2% marketshare. The only real competition for MS is Linux on the server and the sysadim-managed cooperate desktop."

Hmm... Most car owners buy GM/Ford et al... So, I guess with this premis, Ferrari's, BMWs etc. are irrelevant as well.

Hmm... Most DESIGNERS use MAC. Period. That's not to say that ALL designers use a Mac... I get more done, in less time on my Mac... with minimal foibles... yes, I yell at my computers, and I yell at the PC's in my life a LOT more than I yell at my Mac.

Servers... The Mac OSX has been making great strides in that department... I'd love to MicroSnort loose big time to Linux Servers... Wouldn't be nice to have a world of Mac & Linux, together? Hmmm, Servers could be either Mac OR Linux... Portables and Desktops Mac?

personally, I use a PC(XP) at my day job and a Mac for my freelance work. With all the differnt distros of Linux et al, I can't see myself using Linux in an actual work environment, unless I have a box (linux) dedicated to being a server or running 'certain' apps etc.
