Is Windows giving you pause? Ready to make the leap to the Mac instead? There has never been a better time to switch from Windows to Mac, and this incomparable guide will help you make a smooth transition.New York Timescolumnist and Missing Manuals creator David Pogue gets you past three challenges: transferring your stuff, assembling Mac programs so you can do what you did with Windows, and learning your way around Mac OS X.<br<brWhy is this such a good time to switch? Upgrading from one version of Windows to another used to be simple. But now there''s Windows Vista, a veritable resource hog that forces you to relearn everything. Learning a Mac is not a piece of cake, but once you do, the rewards are oh-so-much better. No viruses, worms or spyware. No questionable firewalls, inefficient permissions, or other strange features. Just a beautiful machine with a thoroughly reliable system. And if you''re still using Windows XP, we''ve got you covered, too.

This guide identifies the Mac equivalents and explains how to move your data to them.Learning Leopard-- Once you''ve moved into the Mac, a final task awaits: Learning your way around. Fortunately, you''re in good hands with the author ofMac OS X: The Missing Manual, the #1 bestselling guide to the Macintosh.
