Macs - Windows guru buys his wife a Mac
Paul Thurott self-professed Windows guru, and publisher of the Windows Super Site has given his wife a Mac for Christmas. Significantly, Mr Thurott has long been on the “love to hate list” of Macs fans, so this is quite a turnaround.
This conversion deserves a bit of background. I am, as you might know, one of the more prominent Windows-based writers on the Web. This simple fact makes the notion that I’d buy a Mac for my wife seems like an April Fools joke, I know. But the truth is, I’ve owned one or more Macs since summer 2005, and I’m a big fan of Mac OS X, albeit one who is perhaps more honest about the system’s shortcomings than the typical Mac fanatic. That said, Apple’s computer systems are viable for a wide range of users, including graphic artists, photographers, and other creative types. And a truly simple system like the Mac mini is perfect for the mass market, those people who simply need email, Web access, and word processing.
It is well worth a read for anyone considering a Mac as it provides a comprehensive analysis of the whys and wherefores of his switching experience which will provide you useful insight.
