So it’s official now, I am thinking different..am thinking great, am thinking Apple!!

After months of thinking and rethinking and then some more, I was finally convinced enough to take the plunge and make the switch from PC to Mac.

Thanks to all the good words and all the pushing by the one dude who by the way I call the the ultimate Mac Nerd – Kunal, I am a proud owner of the brand new, all white n sexy MacBook…so ladies and gentz…take a bow and give a big round of applause to the all new macbook…and to the convincer!!

I will be writing about my trysts with the Mac as and when they come along in the next few days, but for now I must say, it’s a revelation – Apple really rocks!!

It’s amazing how we get so used to the crappy Windows environment (Watch how I am calling Windows names already!) that we begin to think that what the guys at Redmond offer is really the best we can get, that the buggy Windows is really what the standards of computing are…but believe me if you would, Apple is way ahead, way more advanced and way more cooler – It’s no surprise then that Mac OSX really is the world’s most advanced Operating System..!!

Here’s a list of what I have really loved so far and probably all the PC to Mac switchers would (not necessarily in order) -

1. No Drivers crap
2. No Uninstall wizards – Simply trash the application file and you are done
3. No registry mess
4. I was connected to my secured wireless network even before I began using the mac, it gave me a list of the available networks in it’s set up wizard itself – the wireless management is amazing
5. The build in camera is awesome!!
6. Spotlight – the builtin search kicks Vista’s search big time – it’s super fast and it’s bang on target.
7. No Viruses – can you believe it!!
8. No Spyware!
9. The expose feature – manage multiple windows with the tap of a key or a click of a mouse
10. The dashboard widgets
11. The awesome animation tricks
12. The magnetic power plug
13. It’s core Unix!!

And I promise this list will keep growing in the days to come….as I begin to discover the hidden world of Mac – the world where no BSOD’s exist!!
