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
Times columnist 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. Why 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. If you're ready to take on
Mac OS X Leopard, the latest edition of this bestselling guide tells you
everything you need to know: Transferring your stuff -- Moving photos,
MP3s, and Microsoft Office documents is the easy part. This book gets
you through the tricky things: extracting your email, address book,
calendar, Web bookmarks, buddy list, desktop pictures, and MP3 files.
Re-creating your software suite -- Big-name programs (Word, Photoshop,
Firefox, Dreamweaver, and so on) are available in both Mac and Windows
versions, but hundreds of other programs are available only for Windows.
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 of Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, the #1
bestselling guide to the Macintosh. Moving from Windows to a Mac
successfully and painlessly is the one thing Apple does not deliver.
Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition is your ticket
to a new computing experience.
