Q&A: Switching From Windows To Mac
In this video, I get a question from Luke who asks “My friend and I are both Windows users, all of our life. All of our software is in Windows and everything. We were each looking at purchasing a Mac. How was the transition from Windows to Mac, easy? Ballparking how much does it cost to buy all new Mac software (without installing vmware fusion in support for windows). We are both looking to heavily use iMovie and the iLife suite which already comes installed on a 09 Mac. Any advice?” Wow, what a question. There’s a lot of objectivity to this question, but I’ll do my best to answer. I came from a UNIX background, so the transition to Mac OS X was fairly seamless for me. In terms of software, I did have to buy Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop 7 which set me back quite a bit, but it was not absolutely necessary. Price which software you need, but also prioritize and determine if that software is absolutely necessary to have on the Mac. You can always utilize VMWare Fusion for some Windows software if you need to. The transition does take time and don’t rush into it. Also, don’t be afraid to try new software for the Mac. There are tons of great software titles out there that don’t get a lot of recognition, but the Mac community is very friendly and will help you in many ways. I hope this answered your question, Luke.
