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.
