A Couple of Mac v PC Experiences

Mark Cuban has switched to the mac and writes Once you go Mac. "Then I upgraded my PC to Vista. What a disaster. I had grown accustomed to my PC freezing every now and then. Enter Vista and my PC was frozen more often than it was working. The biggest culprit was MicroSoft Outlook." He switched and is happy. His complaint that he wants a second mouse button is easily solved as mac work fine with a two button mouse and the mighty mouse actually has four.

Steven Frank discovers Macs Really Do Run Windows Betterwhich is really a rant about the extra software that most Windows manufacturers install on their machines and how difficult some make it to reinstall (aka restore to) a clean Windows installation with all the right drivers. His nightmare experience was with a Sony Viao.

Apple ships macs with install DVDs and having been through the process it was painless, including copying all my user info from a backup drive (works as if it were a second machine). Apple does ship some demo apps with the mac but they mostly useful or interesting and are all in the Applications folder and to remove them just drag them to the trash.
