How Does It Go? Resistance Is Futile?
A Intel Software Developers Blog has the following on switching to a Mac:
Since the announcement of Apple’s plans to use Intel processors, I have periodically tried out their computers, planning to eventually make the switch. The day has finally arrived. Last week I acquired a new Core 2 Duo-based MacBook Pro for work. After using it for a week, I feel like I could easily become an evangelist for these systems. They have a lot to offer a Windows developer. I have especially enjoyed having things just work instead of wasting time debugging problems. For example, the first time I plugged the MacBook into my Cinema Display, the new display was detected correctly and I automatically had a desktop that spanned the built-in display and the external Cinema Display. I popped in a DVD (Cream’s concert at the Albert Hall). The DVD came up full screen on the Cinema Display and automatically began playing. Pleasant surprises like these have shown me how, on the Windows platform, I had become trained to expect things NOT to work.
The revolution is at hand. I know more people who switched to a mac than I can count on both hands, and I don’t know that many people.
