Apple Longtime Windows expert Scot Finnie gave the Mac a three-month trial as his primary machine for work and home use. After 3 months, he concluded: "If you give the Mac three months, as I did, you won't go back either. The hardest part is paying for it - everything after that gets easier and easier."

He did not say goodbye to Redmond at all

"Note that my Mac runs Windows in the Parallels virtual-machine software, which I use frequently for a handful of specific tasks"

Well, hello, why is OSX great, if it does not solve your problems? Now he has to pay for OSX _and_ Windows, plus he has locked hardware, difficult to upgrade. Way to go.

But there's a problem. Dreamweaver costs $400. And while that's OK in the corporate world, it's a stretch for my budget. As a result, I've had to fall back on using HomeSite 5.5 under Windows running in Parallels on my Mac. That works just fine, for now. One day I'll figure out a way to give Dreamweaver a real test.

Speaking of locked in.
