Is Windows giving you pause? Ready to make the leap to the Mac instead? There <br />
has never been a better time to switch from Windows to Mac, and this <br />
incomparable guide will help you make a smooth transition. New York Times <br />
columnist and Missing Manuals creator David Pogue gets you past three <br />
challenges: transferring your stuff, assembling Mac programs so you can do what <br />
you did with Windows, and learning your way around Mac OS X.<br />
<br />
Why is this such a good time to switch? Upgrading from one version of Windows to <br />
another used to be simple. But now there's Windows Vista, a veritable resource <br />
hog that forces you to relearn everything. Learning a Mac is not a piece of <br />
cake, but once you do, the rewards are oh-so-much better. No viruses, worms or <br />
spyware. No questionable firewalls, inefficient permissions, or other strange <br />
features. Just a beautiful machine with a thoroughly reliable system. And if <br />
you're still using Windows XP, we've got you covered, too.<br />
<br />
If you're ready to take on Mac OS X Leopard, the latest edition of this <br />
bestselling guide tells you everything you need to know:<br />
<br />
* Transferring your stuff -- Moving photos, MP3s, and Microsoft Office <br />
documents is the easy part. This book gets you through the tricky things: <br />
extracting your email, address book, calendar, Web bookmarks, buddy list, <br />
desktop pictures, and MP3 files.<br />
<br />
<br />
* Re-creating your software suite -- Big-name programs (Word, Photoshop, <br />
Firefox, Dreamweaver, and so on) are available in both Mac and Windows versions, <br />
but hundreds of other programs are available only for Windows. This guide <br />
identifies the Mac equivalents and explains how to move your data to them.<br />
<br />
<br />
* Learning Leopard -- Once you've moved into the Mac, a final task awaits: <br />
Learning your way around. Fortunately, you're in good hands with the author of <br />
Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, the #1 bestselling guide to the Macintosh.<br />
<br />
Moving from Windows to a Mac successfully and painlessly is the one thing Apple <br />
does not deliver. Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition is <br />
your ticket to a new computing experience.<br />
