TechTV Screen Savers Host Tries "The Switch"

lwbecker2 writes "Patrick Norton, from the TechTV show 'The Screen Savers', and an admittedly loyal Windows/PC user, recently borrowed a iBook from Apple and has written an article about his three-month experience with 'The Switch'. It seems like a well-though-out review and IMHO provides some balanced coverage of the potential issues and experiences involved in switching from Windows XP to Mac OS X."

    You Slashdotteri always sound so awfully smug with your pinkies up and a copy of the article safely snocked away in your cache while us masses flail helplessly away at a dead server, clamoring for a crust of bread while you fat bastards eat all the pie. Er, um, cake. Anyway, ELMO THINKS YOU HAVE NO SHAME!

    This is typical tech-tv article. Nothing to it. He bitches about the browser and says that Mac's are expensive.

    from the article: "...I couldn't help but kick a hole through the ceiling, climb up on the rooftop and shout its praises at every passing soul"

    Yep, he's from San Francisco.

    OS X may have crashed once in three months, and I may have mistaken an OS crash for the browser going down.

    Typical Windows user; can't tell the difference between an OS crash and his browser going down.
