Moving to Mac Made Easy

Posted by pudge on from the here's-switch-in-your-eye dept.

Jaguar777 writes "According to an article on CNET, Apple has a new weapon in its campaign to woo PC users: a $59 piece of software that makes the switch to Macintosh easier. Detto Technologies has started selling Move2Mac, a combination of software and a custom USB cable that helps PC users move many of their files, settings and even background pictures to a new Mac running Mac OS X 10.2. Sounds nice. Is there anything like this in the works for the penguin masses?" Detto has had software to move settings from one PC to another; Apple requested them to make it to move from a PC to a Mac, and will carry it in their retail stores.

  1. Sleeping Keyboard Troll by Kalak · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Where is our obligatory troll from the user who won't buy a Mac because of the keyboard. Afterall, he's a long time "UNIX" user. Can't have an OS X posting w/o him. He must be asleep. Did ucontrol finally get him to look for something else to rant about, like the number of mouse buttons?
