The most stable and trouble free OS of all is Linux. The most user friendly Linux distro is Ubuntu.

I think the best solution is to have 3 machines min in your office, so you always have backup boxes, one running Windows, one Apple and one Linux.

Nice write up, and welcome to the world of Mac domaining One of the biggest benefits of owning a Mac doesn’t hit you until you’ve been using it for a few months. You start to realize that using a Mac involves a lot less worry than using a PC. Some of its the security, but must of it is just well thought out programming.

One point about your write up. It’s not necessary to purchase Office for Mac just to get access to your Windows docs. You can use Google docs, for free, or you can buy Apple Works. Works costs less than Office and you can open and save .doc .ppt and .xls files.

Also, for creating killer web sites, check out RapidWeaver from realMacSoftware.com.

Yes, parallel is an excellent program and it is free.

do not use bootcamp, eats up the resources.

I am a Mac collector and have a collection of the 1st Mac-apple2e, 512k–still in good condition–serial # is 0003, Made in USA!!

One nice thing about a Mac is that most viruses are not written for Mac users

Your domains are ultimately safer b/c of this.

I just bought a Mac for my 13 year old daughter and have been trying to justify the purchase. Thanks from an old PC user.

I tried making the switch a few months ago. I hated it, and my Mac was more buggy than any PC I’ve ever hard.
