They're fed up with the virus-prone Windows way of life, and they're lured by Apple's well-deserved reputation for producing great all-around computers that are reliable, user-friendly, well designed, and now--with the $500 Mac mini--extremely affordable, too. Whether you're drawn to the Mac's stability, its stunning digital media suite, or the fact that a whole computer can look and feel as slick as your iPod, you can quickly and easily become a Mac convert. But consider yourself warned: a Mac isn't just a Windows machine in a prettier box; it's a whole different animal and a whole new computing experience. If you're contemplating--or have already made--the switch from a Windows PC to a Mac, you need Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition. This incomparable guide delivers what Apple doesn't: everything you need to know to successfully and painlessly move to a Mac. The latest reprint of this book has been updated to reflect the new generation of Mac models that run on Intel chips. There's even a new appendix that guides you through the installation of Windows XP on your Macintosh (using adapter software like Boot Camp or Parallels), so that you have the best of all worlds: a single, beautiful machine that can run 100 percent of the world's desktop software.

It should be included with every Mac Computer. The book helped understand the differences between pc and MAC computers. I recommend this book for any one thinking of switching from pc to MAC. It is invaluable! Rating - Awesome MAC tool for PC switchers I Just bought my Macbook Pro 6 weeks ago and experienced many PC to Mac switcher issues. This book is really helping me get acquainted with my new mac. The author attempts to add a touch of humor to make an otherwise boring 400 page instruction manual easy to read. It didn't work, but I didn't buy a piece of fiction and I'm not expecting to be entertained; I'm expecting to learn how to fully utilize my new Mac, and this book delivers as promised. After looking at [...] price for the book, my only regret is that I didn't ... Read More Rating - Switching to the Mac; Tiger Edition Excellent. Lots of details that I can use or if too complicated for me, can ignore. But they are there for me to decide. Similar books try to dumb down the information and consequently leave out things that I could use. It just fits what I was looking for. Plenty of pictures in case your own computer is not responding like the text seems to say. Text is not written as a text book but with a lightness(not just going for a joke). Since this is by definition a comparison of two computer systems, there is no dumping on ... Read More Rating - Simple and Informative Great book and very well illustrated. I found a wealth of information in an easy format to read and understand. I would highly recommend this book! I had used the Mac for a while before getting this book and wish I would have known about it a lot sooner. Rating - 100% of the worlds software? I wasn't aware that the the thousands of software applications written almost exclusively for Linux would run on a mac. see more reviews See all books by author David Pogue, Adam Goldstein
