The Switch – Part 1 – Getting Ready
I have done what I always thought would be the unthinkable, I am switching to a Mac. This was a hard decision, but one I have been pondering for quite a while. Ever since Macs were switched over to use x86 hardware and Boot Camp was announced, my view point has changed dramatically about the Mac. I used to think there would be no reason to get a Mac, but Apple showed me otherwise. They introduced Boot Camp, the awesome Mac Book Pro hardware, and a price that was comparable with similarly featured PCs. Combine those with my dissappointment with Vista, and everything added up to a switch.
I plan to write about my experiences with the Mac as I get going with it, but right now I am waiting for the hardware to arrive within the next couple days. My co-workers will probably get frustrated at me for filling our blog with Mac stuff, but it will be like a train wreck for them; they know they shouldn’t look, but they just won’t be able to help themselves. 
Since I am waiting impatiently for it to arrive in the mail, I decided to look around the web for some good information about switching over. Here is what I found (good and bad):

Windows expert to Redmond: Buh-bye
I will post more if I come across them…
