“Ten years ago, if you were a Windows user, the idea of switching to a Macintosh might not have seemed enticing. An abundance of new Windows software was arriving on store shelves, while the selection available to Mac users seemed to be falling behind, often relegated to a back corner of the same store,” Thomas J. Fitzgerald reports for The New York Times.
“Today the calculation is different. Apple Computer, through a series of transitions, has reinvented itself. With a new operating system, its own chain of retail stores, the iPod and now a new line of computers that run on Intel processors, this new and more mainstream Apple is catching the attention of Windows users, and many are curious about switching,” Fitzgerald reports.
Fitzgerald covers the basics of upgrading your personal computer experience from a Windows PC to Mac OS X machine, including software, Boot Camp and Parallels Desktop for Mac for running Windows applications, and security. Of the latter, Fitzgerald writes, “Security is another aspect of Macs that has Windows users curious. In Windows, antivirus and antispyware programs have become essential for defending against a variety of threats. So far, the Mac OS X operating system has not been infiltrated by viruses, and it remains free from the type of spyware threats that spread in the wild and go after Windows users, according to Symantec, maker of Norton Antivirus. But when Windows is run on Intel-based Macs, for example through Boot Camp or Parallels, it is vulnerable to the same virus and spyware threats that can affect conventional Windows-based PC’s.”
Fitzgerald also covers hardware and also includes a brief bit about switchers’ experiences in the full article here.

“Today the calculation is different. Apple Computer, through a series of transitions, has reinvented itself. “
NY Slimes, as usual has no clue what they are talking about…
mac + windows = virus hell
mac minus windows = virus free
live free
Apple has reinvented itself in the past few years. I fondly recall the change in energy as Steve would successively release the next piece of the puzzle. It was electrifying. It was the realization that there was a grand scheme in play, and that it was being executed so well that prompted me to buy stock. Best financial decision I ever made.
The rest of the world is still early to catch on to this bandwagon. More change is in the works. Apple is becoming mainstream, while remaining cool and unique in tech.
So/so article. The author avoided many of the typical pitfalls (e.g., security through obscurity) and provided some useful information, but he also missed many things. For example, his statement that there could be compatibility issues for a Mac with peripherals, printers, etc., is SOMETIMES true (esp. with older peripherals/legacy ports), but he doesn’t mention that the Mac also has BETTER compatibility with some peripherals than Windows computers (e.g., drivers, plug-and-play). Also, no mention of iLife at all, or Spotlight, or Expose, and the odd notion that a Windows-based Vaio has better graphics/is “livelier.” The article IS overall slightly positive and more accurate than not.
I grade this one a “B-“.
MAc 7
And you do?
Why do you suppose Apple is where it is now if not for the reinvention that Jobs has done to a great but small company?
Had it not been for the recent – 5years or so -changes Apple would still be a small player. It took a drastic shift in direction to bring it to where it is now; Including the shift to Intel. Did you anticipate that? No I didn’t think so,
The Mac interface is the closest to the PC it has ever been not because of envy on the part of Apple but to a clever plot to make the transition easier to does who found the earlier and amazing Mac interface too different for them to switch. If you had been an long time user as most of us here you would know what NYTs is talking about.
Bitchin for the sake of bitching is surely your right but counter-productive all the same.
Mac7, I fear ’tis you who are the clueless one. Ten years ago Apple was not on Intel (not that I thought this was a Bad Thing), had a model range confusing to everyone, and the OS … wasn’t quite OS X, now, was it! Today that has all changed, and all for the better. Plus, today we can compare a given Mac with a comparable PC and show they are also price-competetive. Plus, today we have Xserve and Xraid that are gaining ground in (mostly small) business spaces.Plus we have iLife and iWork – in addition to a not-all-that-different AppleWorks. And then, there’s the iTunes/iPod franchise drawing eyeballs and hearts.
Apple has re-invented itself just in this decade, never mind the baby steps it took late last decade.
Mac7 –
In some ways, it is fair to say that Apple has invented itself but you need to look at the time between Jobs leaving and Jobs coming back when the company started to lose focus and then drift with a bloated product line and time/money spent on projects that were never going to come to fruition (taligent anyone?).
So it’s not an insult to say that the company re-invented itself since it went from good to (Jobs inspired) excellent.
One “transition” that the illustrator of the article missed: Apple hasn’t had multicolored stripes on its logo for a long time.
Is that NYT article is written by a Mac new bee.?
Everything he looks at is the Windows-angle and indeed no mention of beautiful Apple Mac software and plug and play app’s..
For one second I thought the NYT was switching all of their computers to Macs….
All the Macs in the world won’t make the corrupt NYTimes non-traitors to the country that supports them. It wouldn’t matter if they just used typerwriters again – they’d still be printing lies and trying to destroy the US.
I don’t think Mac7 was complaining about Macs he was complaining about the NY Slimes. What a terrible newspaper, more like liberal propaganda paper. I think Mac7 was saying that Mac really has been much better all along. It hasn’t reinvented itself. It’s just taken so long for the Windblows zombies to figure it out. The NY Slimes has all but surrendered to terrorists.
NYT SUCKS! NYT SUCKS! NYT SUCKS!
The ContentLink for BootCamp is an ad offering refuge and help for teens in crisis by shipping them off to Oregon or Fiji.
There it is folks. Windows is now destroying the minds of our next generation. After all, children are the future.
I hope these camps use Macs.
NYT destroying the USA, have another cocktail, and take a nap. The MSM is destroying this country because it’s letting the ‘owning’ class get away with murder, ecological destruction and theft. I wish the NYT was destroying the facade that the Bush admininstration spouts out as ‘truth’. The first lie that they can tear down is the ‘conpiracy theory’ that 19 Arab hijackers, without MI5, CIA, and Mossad intervention brought this country to its knees. Google “9/11 proof” and wake the f up.
NYT is slipping into obsolescence, but they are too arrogant to see it coming.
If the article is in the New York Times then it is 40% lies and 60% bullsh*t
davida,
What you are saying may be part of the problem. You want them to tear down this or that. What you are implying is that the media should cater to your AGENDA. That is the problem with MSM. Thier JOB is to report the truth, for good or bad, not to bend toward your agenda. If you think that the NYT is sympathetic toward the Bush administration, then you need to wake the f up.
Why is there so mauch hatred and anger over people with other points of view? Is it honorable to be a bigot?
Let’s be open and educated. You don’t have to agree.
when Windows is run on Intel-based Macs, for example through Boot Camp or Parallels, it is vulnerable to the same virus and spyware threats that can affect conventional Windows-based PC’s.
and to think that just some days ago a Windows turd was spouting here that virus choose, yes CHOOSE, Windows as the best eco-system to thrive. If there was Mac with same market share they would migrate to the Mac to survive.
AHHAHAHHAUHUHHUHUHUAHHAHAHAHAHUHAHUHAUHHAUH
How people could truly be so idiots and that moronic as to write such turdiness online! IT IS WINDOWS the problem. Virus are just C/C++ (for the most) programs that run on Windows and exploit its weaknesses.
If you run Windows on Mac then enjoy the virus and malware. Best using Parallel and have Windows in a “sandbox” mode. How appropriate: a toy operating system relegated where it should stay and never get out: a sandbox.
Noraa,
You are right as usual, I agree. Obviously we are off topic. The piece looked like pretty good exposure, in spite of the due scrutiny of the NYT.
The NY Times is not destryoring America- America is destroying America! Let me illustrate:
-American Family life is suffering from divorce, lack of parental supervision towards children, lack of time for parents to be parents
-American manners are degenerating into one big flame where thy brothers are fucks and thy neighbors are idiots.
-Our apathy towards governance has led to a government running roughshod over the constitution because nobody seems to care
-Our entertainment centers around sex and violence. What would Jesus say about us?
-Our idea of money is actually credit
-Our idea of credit is minimum the payment
Wake up america, it’s not the NYT that are slimeballs- it’s us! The media is actually a pretty good reflection of the collective US!
Hmm. I guess the NYT must be reeling from their declining subscriber base to print an article that is mostly factual. Anyhow, it’s exposure.
davida, tj, etc.,
You need to wake the f up. Go try and negotiate with terrorists and see how long your head stays attached to your body. We need to finish off the middle east now. Give these fanatics the death blow before they get nukes. There is no question that they will use them on the West. No thanks to the NYT or davida and friends.
Thomas Jefferson, your post is self-refuting. You claim to care about manners and then you spout profanity. Spare us from your sanctimonious “do as I say and not as I do” tripe — you’re playing a moralist and your acting is second-rate.
I don’t know too many people who publish national secrets because they think that we the people need to know them, do you? I don’t know too many people who call dung on the Virgin Mary art, but refuse to publish the Mohammed cartoons out of a fear of provoking Muslims, do you? I don’t know too many people who can get away with a NYT standard for accuracy and truth in their lives, do you?
Andrew, go and take your face for a shit, you are as bad as the terrorists.
Terrorist, a generic definition of fear.
Terrorist this, terrorist that. GEORGE W. BUSH must be a terrorist, since he has invaded countries, supplied arms to assist others to invade (Israel just one example of many), illegally detained innocent people because they fit a vague stereotype of a terrorist.
Go on Andrew, I dare you to back up your statements without using the word terrorist, since it seems to be used to justify everything from illegal invasions to illegal imprisonment of innocent people. All in the name of Terror.
The article is a little misleading when considering the vulnerability of a Mac running Windows.
I have performed extensive vulnerability tests of a Mac running Windows 2000 Server and Windows XP Professional both under the Parallels virtualisation environment as well as under Boot Camp. In both cases, Windows was more secure running as a guest operating system under Parallels than under Boot Camp.
I suspect it is because the memory partitioning for applications that is built into OSX is still being used under Parallels and therefore extends in part to any guest OS like Windows. It still is not perfect and Windows under Parallels is definitely less secure than OSX itself – but at least with Parallels and a Windows Guest OS the user gains some additional protection not available under a natively booted Windows using Boot Camp.
As for my qualifications on this, I have used Windows systems since version 1.0 and Apple computers since the Apple II. I have been an IT security consultant for 20 years, in addition.
Love the new Mac Pro but will probably wait till I can get it with Leopard.
Cheers all.
The whole Windows success story was predicated on many things, but price was the main thing. Americans, as a group, have shown given a choice between cheap crap and quality for a little more will usually go for the cheap crap. There are exceptions, but not that many.
BTW- it’s easier to undercut others on price when you steal most of your code and ideas from others.

It’s always amazing to see how many extremists exist in this country that still support GW. The world is going to shit because of his his posse’s policies, right in front of them, and they are shouting “keep it coming!”. They remind me of…the Taliban.
They care not for the USA. They only care for their version of it, and they use “patriotism” as a tool to ruin it. They are a disease eating this country from within.
Bush didn’t invade a country. Bush is one man. The United States (and 30+ other countries, including Great Britian, Australia, and Japan) invaded Iraq. If we use your definition of “terrorist” Sidney, then every soldier that ever existed would have to be a terrorist. That is simply hilarious.
Let’s compare Israel vs. Hezbollah.
Hezbollah — kidnaps soldiers. Israel — doesn’t.
Hezbollah — decapitates prisoners. Israel — doesn’t.
Hezbollah — lies on television about the number of dead, stages photos, and doctors photos. Israel — doesn’t.
Hezbollah — shoots missles at civillian centers to murder as many innocents as possible. Israel — takes pains to avoid hitting civilians.
Hezbollah — uses civilians as human shields. Israel — doesn’t.
I could go on all day exposing Sidney’s lame logic.
On one hand we have fear-mongering genocidal bigots, such as Andrew, and the other hand we have conspiratorial nutcases who refuse to believe that 4 well-trained soldiers could break through an unlocked cockpit door and commandeer a plane.
The NY Times is just a newspaper. A middle-of-the-road one (in other words, not owned by Rupert Murdoch and therefore does not have as its primary mission to support Republican talking points). The far left, as davida demonstrates, hate it as much as the far right.
Rightwing nutjobs hate it because it prints some opinion pieces by Paul Krugman. Leftwing zealots hate it because it prints some opinion pieces by William Safire. It’s both demonized by glazed-eyed Rush Limbaugh dittoheads because it publishes secret government memos handed to them by whistleblowers in the Bush administration, and by readers of The Nation, who point out that neocon Judith Miller’s reporting on the supposed existence of WMDs in Iraq was by even the President’s account a major reason we went to war.
There’s no doubt that the ideological hardening of both sides has produced a generation of people who are incapable of thinking for themselves when it comes to politics, and regurgitate the talking points given to them through their various propaganda channels.
If Bush is an extremist, you would certainly hate to live under the presidency of the guy who’s on the $1 bill. Or wait, what about Lincoln, who’s on the $5? He suspended the Constitution, remember? Lincoln also forcibly closed down presses. Bush has done nothing like that, yet Lincoln is widely regarded as a great president.
As for GW supporters being like the Taliban: go find a right-winger and ask him how many women he’s beaten, raped, or put on ice today. Go find a conservative Christian and ask him what the Bible says do to one who leaves the faith. (Hint for the lazy: the answer is “nothing”. In Islam, the requirement is death.) And does Bush hate music? Not at all. He has an iPod, remember? The Taliban forbade all music. Does Bush hate dancing? Not at all. But the Taliban forbade all dancing. Does the Taliban believe in a state-run mosque? You bet they do. Does Bush believe in a state-run church? Nope.
Guys, can’t you make it more challenging?
Hey Go Cheap,
That’s the choice of most people in the world, not just ‘Americans’.
Having a car that runs half the time is still better than walking if you don’t have a car and can’t afford one that runs great. And during the biggest growth of Windows, it was cheaper.
Your post is just another denigrating American intelligence. Last I checked, Windows is the most widely used OS Worldwide – not just the US. Sounds to me like the ‘dumb Americans’ at Microsoft who grew the company weren’t too stupid after all.
BustingTheSkullsOfIdiots, I think your skull has been busted open by yourself, you idiot.
By your lame logic, you can get away with anything.
Bush is the LEADER. COMMANDER IN CHIEF. He decides what policy to invade with. Soliders are merely cannon fodder, replaceable. Bush, however, is the man who is in charge of the USA.
Silly man.
To say that because the NYT has William Safire (a Republican who voted for Clinton, remember), the NYT is “middle of the road” is a joke. One liberal Republican, and how many liberals on the op ed page? Oh yeah. That’s everyone else. Wow, that’s “middle of the road”! But that fits right in to the concept that “center” means “liberal Republican to Socialist”.
As for NY Times’ bias, an instructive book is Ann Coulter’s “Slander”. Once you’re done with that, you’ll understand the upper West Side, Manhattan, cocktail club mentality that makes the NYT what it is.
But for the lazy, take this test: note how many times the adjective “liberal”, “hard left”, “radical”, or “left” appears when describing American political candidates in a few NYT articles. Then compare that to how many times you see the terms “right” “hard right” “conservative” “reactionary” and other adjectives. The out group is always identified; what the paper thinks is normal is never tagged.
Actually I think both Bush AND a large number of Middle Eastern leaders/potentates/dictators and terrorists suck.
And by the way, there may have been/are a large number of participating countries involved in Iraq, but whether you agree with US involvement or not, does anyone really believe that anyone would be there without the US starting it? No matter your view on this, this is something that would not have happened without the US wanting it.
(Banging fist on table) Have a shroom! Have a shroom! GD F moron, I said have a shrrooom right now!
George and his puppet masters care only about one thing, concentrating wealth and power, as of late, their plan is going along quite smoothly, check things out. Bush is slowly creating a dictatorship, and we live under record levels of concentrated wealth, fact. Poor Israel, the 4th largest military in the world! Watch “Peace, Propaganda, and the Promised Land’ on Google Video, the Israeli’s have been getting away with murder and Nazi like tactics for years. Israel has been planning for a Lebanese invasion since the beginning of this decade. It’s weird, the early reports were that the IDF was in southern Lebanon when the soldiers were kidnapped, but with the Zionist controlled media that little tidbit of info has been reversed, hmmm. Anyone not making millions a year, and till supports Bush the faker/lier/death worshiper(Skull and Bones), needs to do some serious soul searching. Peace, oh btw, the NYT article was decent, but for the most part, … meh.
“Bush decides what policy to invade with”? What is this, an attack of the mean-spirited insurance salesmen? *LOL* Try harder, kid.
The New York Times story reads like it’s been sitting for years on the disk with the stories saved for the panic-striken shout of “Omigod we’ve got a hole on Page Z99!
It’s the equivalent of the “Now is the time to check your car’s battery” crap, “Did you know a dirty air filter can slice two million miles per gallon off your mileage,” and “If you want to save gas, avoid jack-rabbit starts” that fill the spaces between dealership ads in the twice-a-year car “supplements.”
Conspicuous by its adsence was the paragraph that says, “A ‘mouse’ is the term ‘geeks’ use for the little gadget that moves the pointer on the screen, which may even be in color.
BustingTheSkullsOfIdiots has busted his own skull because of his own idiocy.

WOW! You people are amazing. It is like you don’t even want people to start using a mac and enjoying their computer again if they don’t share your same political ethos. I am positive that I don’t fit the mac-user stereotype. And for everyone on here that is against big business, etc. etc. what the hell do you think Steve Jobs is doing this for? Free? You think Apple doesn’t take advantage of every single tax break that is available to them?
As far as switching to a mac. It was simple. I bought a mac and I bought a copy of MS Office. The switch was then complete. I thought that the mac OS provided a higher level of productivity to me than the WinXP OS. My PCs are 5 and 3 years old and needed to be replaced, upgraded as hardware failures were beginning to become more expensive than replacement. I also try to follow the rule of upgrading whenever replacing a part which makes staying with my PCs as expensive as buying a mac and a new copy of MS Office.
Finally I wanted an Apple sticker to put under my NRA & Glock stickers on my POS pickup truck. No I am not kidding.
Amen, C, thank you. Have a shroom.
C,
Please believe me, you are not alone. Not everyone here shares the same ideology. Additionally, not everyone here is so eager to convey thier beliefs. BTW, I don’t have a Glock sticker, mine is HK.

Anyways those new MacPros are pretty cool…
sigh, BTSOI is so right. The world IS SO MUCH BETTER since the neo cons made a joke of our “democracy”. Let’s recap:
– We used all of our political currency (a never before seen amount because of 9-11) on an outlaw war that not only validated Extremist Islam, but also has been using up massive resources that could otherwise be used to keep nations like Iran and N. Korea in check. I’ll call this going all in with a massive amount of chips holding a 2-10 offsuit. Real *smart* guys. You got balls.
– We failed to react with any kind of competence when a Hurricane hit New Orleans. Who was in charge? Oh, some horse guy who’s buds with the Pres. Real nice. Just like the Enron guys who bankrupt California. What do they say about the company you keep?
– Our deficit has risen to never-before-seen heights. It’s climbed at an alarming rate, and there’s no end in sight. Umm, let’s see, how did the Taliban defeat Russia? Oh snap! They bled them dry. Good job you macho Neo Cons.
– The government began spying on it’s own citizens! Suh-weet!!! USA! USA! USA! Makes me proud
– US Troops have been using torture, and rape! This is a reflection of those in charge. USA! USA! USA! Makes me proud
– Israel has invaded Lebanon! If you don’t think this has been sanctioned by the USA you’re an idiot. And just when Iran is close to nukes! Wow, another brilliant move by the Neo-Con fuckwits. Hmmm, let’s see, they probably wouldn’t take any responsibility if those nukes were used against Israel either. How do I know this? They don’t take responsibility for ANYTHING. Why? Because they are EXTREMISTS.
That’s just off the top of my head. But any Neo-Con will blather their rhetoric (ignoring reality – who needs reality when you’re an IDEALIST) that somehow makes them think things are GOOD. The world is so fucked right now it’s just…..sad.
The bustingskuls is not an a true idiot…
he is just 8 years old and was left alone watching Fox network. His mom is to blame for creating such an uninformed nitwit.
MDN word : Millions
There are millions of babies such as him
This all makes me feel so warm inside. We should all get together and have a picnic sometime.
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”rolleyes” style=”border:0;” />
Yes, shame on Safire for voting for Clinton. 92 to 2000 were just plain awful, balanced budgets, robust economic growth and an abscence of empty headed foreign policy conducted by a bunch of hawkish draft dodgers.
“The Sony Vaio is more lively”
What in the hell does that mean????
“What in the hell does that mean????”
More reboots.
What was that article about again? Hezbollah? The Taliban? Iraq? Wait… I’m confused. Oh, Macs.
MDW: “Middle” weird.
Sidney = Terrorist!
Ah, isn’t MDN all about the daily news concerning Apple and the Mac? I don’t understand why all this other ranting and raving over The New York Times, politics, and the foreign policy of the United States gets mentioned here. Aren’t there other places for that? I come to this web site daily because I want to know about my beloved Macs. There’s about a dozen other sites I visit daily when I want to see what’s up with politics and U.S. foreign policy. Frankly, here, I find it boring. IMO.
Gspanky,
You are absolutely pathetic. We are all so sick of your terrorist apeasement. Go hug a terrorist and see what happens to you you baffoon! Because of idiots like you your country has a base of psycho terrorists that want to blow up more airplanes. And no that’s not George Bush’s fault you twerp. These people have wanted to kill Jews, Europeans, and Americans for a long, long time. The more powerful they become the greater threat they are. Like when all the commies tried to negotiate with Hitler. Look how well that worked. G-ant go crawl back under your rock!
Heroin says “NYT is middle of the road publication”?????? What planet are you on?????? Almost every media outlet is way out there left wing. Get a clue. Thank god for Fox News and Drudge Report to name a few to actually call it as it is.
yeah, if the neo cons could’ve kept their mouths shut, it would be all about the Mac, as it should be. But they can’t so it isn’t.
“Mary Anne”, you crack me up. All you can do is spout little bits of nonsensical insults. You truly are a scourge on the USA.
92 to 2000,
World Trade Center bombed, Clinton bombing and killing 10s of thousands of Bosnian civilians, to of all things supposedly save muslims, with not a peep from you left wing commies, anything goes menatality. Cheat, lie, do whatever feels good and pretend you’re an upstanding citizen. He gave North Korea nuclear technology that they are now giving to Iran. That effing moron got us into this mess. The economy tanked while he was still president. It bounced back under Bush. You freaks will twist the truth in any way you possibly can to support your terrorist loving ways. Thank god you have no real power. Go back to serving lates at Starbucks you creapy tree huggers.
Gspank,
You are a sorry excuse for a human being!
G-Spank wanker…
Some of the readers/posters here are more passionate about their families and countries and freedom than Macs.
Fawn,
Thank you, you made my point for me perfectly.
Heroin you have no point. Just that you are a terrorist lover and idiot.
Ricardo, Clinton is no liberal, he’s known as the best ‘republican’ president we’ve had. His economic miracle was based on the middle classes’ false hope, (record levels of debt/bankruptcy by the end of his term) so by the time Bush became pResident in 2000, the poop was hitting the fan. 9/11 was an inside job to stall the coming economic collapse, and accomplish other goals, like fighting Afganistan to build Unical’s gas pipeline, and eat away at our rights,etc.. I love my country but fear its government, and its corporate controlled media. Please people,these “Struassian” neo cons are not true conservatives, just power/money hungry zealots, can’t you see that? learn about Leo Strauss here… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Strauss Mr. Strauss is an Elitist, i.e., The People can’t know what’s best for them, but the rulers do.

The initial step in switching to Mac is, “1. Insert brain.”
davida is a complete conspiricy theory wing nut. have fun in your basement idiot.
Phew!
I thought this was a Mac-related site/forum, not the usual shit-slinging forum to flame others.
