I recently bought a Mac Mini, And I thought I'd talk about my experiences in the transition from Windows XP to Mac OS X.

Member since:The two weeks bit also confuses me...
The author claims to have had Panther installed by default on the Mac Mini. The Mini hasn't shipped with Panther installed for some time.
If the author did buy a "Series A" Mini with Panther installed, then the Mighty Mouse certainly wasn't an option at the time.
Leads me to question the credibility of the article without getting into issues of 'study' length.

Member since:it's clearly not an in depth product review but rather one individual's personal experience in transitioning from XP to the MAC.
I feel it is something other XP users may find very useful and informative.
If you want a byte by byte comparison there are tons of those out there.
not sure why you are looking to undermine the guy's piece.

Yes, after a longer time it would be better.
I switched from Windows/Linux to my Mac ~4 Months ago, and I am really extremly happy. I just can't imagine to work with Windows or Linux anymore.
For me, Mac is really a "just works" experience, and I am very happy about that at home.

Two weeks is a very short experience, it will be interesting to see what the author thinks in two months.
To me it seems--and the author touched briefly upon it-- that the biggest obstacle to switching is stranded application costs. I use Dreamweaver and Photoshop and MS Office on a regular basis--these apps taken together cost more than the computer. Perhaps with Mactel and Wine this obstacle will be lessened.
