I'm a Mac, I'm a PC

I'm a Mac, I'm a PC

......But as is the case with Apple's deceptive "Switcher" ad campaign, going from Mac OS X to Windows doesn't have to be a one-way street. Indeed, my suspicion is that very few people have actually transitioned completely from Windows to the Mac (dovella confirm). I think most of them are using both environments, instead, and picking the one that makes most sense for what they're doing at the time. And as it turns out, moving to Windows from Mac doesn't have to be total and irreversible. Using the aforementioned solutions, Mac users can move back and forth between the OS X and Windows environment. It's the best of both worlds....

With what research are you confirming that statement? Or are you confirming that Paul Thurrot suspects it?

It's a thought experiment. Aristotle used them to determine that if you drop a heavy thing it will land faster than if you drop a light-weight thing. It's obvious isn't it? You don't need data to prove an fact, do you?

I saw a Mojave experiment ad on TV Land, I thought that was just supposed to be a web thing

i saw at least 2 new apple ads - (on tv - not web) - that show how you bring your old computer to apple store - and they will copy your old files for you - to the new mac


* they dont show if they still OPEN however

I work with four Mac owners, and they all started off running MacOSX with VMWare Fusion. After a few weeks, they're running XP and spend hardly any time in MacOSX at all.

Could this be the norm for switchers I wonder?


Mmmm .... Thurrot is going to bring the whole Mac church down on his head with that article; a cunning plan that they will no doubt fall for.

I confirm what I see with my own eyes,
Over 90% of mac user, use parallels Bootcamp VMware etc. for Windows ,

None of Windows users, OSX needs to have a complete experience of our computers  (Have you ever tried OSX for network printing? white page white page  )

Over 90% of mac user, use parallels Bootcamp VMware etc. for Windows

So you've seen the way all Mac users on the planet use their machines, with your own eyes? That's amazing!

I think OSX has the easiest print setup I've ever seen.  That Bonjour stuff works like a charm, especially across a network.

What problems did you have?

You've gotta be kidding.. networking macs is a nightmare. Not that windows is much better but at least sometimes windows decides to work perfectly.

Plus, I think a lot of recent mac buys are probably dual boots.. I've ever heard a lot of people buying macs just to run windows on them, just because the new imac looked a better than the average dell crap.

Well, can't say I've ever had a problem with it myself. Happily talking to my Windows machine and home server.

Well like Dovellla and myself, you're guessing. I would like to see some real figures. I suspect that there are quite a lot of people who are running Windows on their Macs, but I'd like to know how many.

er not.

See here , and use google translator or other
print with Mac networking becomes only a matter of luck, (
The luck of APple and that the apple user are not accustomed to complain.

In Windows, Print network is invisible future

So you're looking at a support forum where people only post problems and thus extrapolating that everyone must have problems?

Wow. Italian education must really suck,

I like the concept of invisible future, though.

what is the relevance between education Italian and my hobby?

your education is that?

How does a site offering a printer drive prove that Mac printing sucks, or that the majority of Mac users still use Windows?
