You just need to be sure you know what critical Windows applications you currently use and have a plan for there use or replacement on the Mac. For example, you may want to purchase Office for Mac, so you have Word, Excel and PowerPoint at the ready, though you won't have VBA available. Or, you may want to install and run Windows with a virtualization program like Parallels or VMware. I would also highly recommend you read my post entitled What's the best and cheapest way to buy a Mac, if you haven't already for some tips on saving money. Gook luck, the adventure of switching is great! If you’re like me, you won’t regret it.

I too had seen the apple shops popping up the mall, and was toying with the possibility of switching them over to macs. I think you just sold me! -j www.jesrush.com John, my older parents are constantly crashing their two windows-based desktops.

After suffering through Vista on a work-loaner laptop, I feel I’m ready for a Mac. Recommendations for a Mac laptop? Is the MacBook Pro really worth the extra expense over a regular MacBook?
