Apple turns the Mac vs Windows PC debate on its head.

Now that every new Mac includes the new Intel Core or Core 2 chip, the debate about which computer to buy, Mac or Windows PC, is dead. Now, the debate is: Mac that runs the the advanced UNIX based MacOS X and Windows, or a PC .. that just runs Windows.

Get the best of both worlds, without giving up a thing.

Why a Mac? Between June of 05 and June of 06, over 40,000 new pieces of “Malware” (Viruses, trojans, spyware, rootkits, etc) were unleashed on users of Windows. None of these effect the MacOS. Running Windows on your Mac using Parallels or other virtualization software allows you to “Sandbox” Windows and any potential Malware infection away from the MacOS and all your Mac apps. You get to keep using your Windows software, some of which may not have a Mac version, and continue to be productive in Microsoft Office for the Mac, QuickBooks 2007 for the Mac, Quark, your email, web surfing, Apple’s iLife, Aperture, Final Cut Studio, Photoshop, and more on the MacOS.

Does that mean I can stop practicing “Safe Computing”?

No, JWD TECH still recommends that all users practice “Safe Computing” and common sense while reading email, and surfing the web. This includes not opening attachments in email from strangers, or from friends that never send you attachments, and being weary of websites that offer “Free” anything. JWD TECH always advises that Mac and Windows users back up their important data regularly.

But Macs cost too much? NO!

Not at all! In fact, most Macs cost the same, or are less expensive, than a comparably equipped Dell, HP, or Sony PC. Interesting comparisons can be found at: http://www.systemshootouts.org/

Before your next purchase, tell JWD TECH how you use your PC, and anything you’d like to learn to do in the future. A Mac may be the best choice. JWD TECH won’t push you into buying something that won’t work best for you. Computers are tools, some people prefer Craftsman, some prefer Snap-on. JWD TECH always strives to give its clients the best “Bang for the Buck” possible.

Maybe I should switch to Mac completely?

Can I do everything I do on my Windows PC on my new Mac?

For most people, there isn’t a single thing they do on their Windows PC that can’t be done on a Mac.

Microsoft Office - Yes, there is MS Office that runs on the Mac. In fact, Microsoft called MS Office for the Mac the best version of Office they’ve ever made.

QuickBooks - For most QuickBooks users, the latest version of QuickBooks for the MacOS will do everything they need. Let us know which QuickBooks version you use, and which features you use most to help you find out.

Digital Photography - iPhoto, which ships with every Mac, works with all popular digital cameras. Apple also makes Aperture, a new Pro application for owners of DSLRs using the RAW format. Photoshop also has a Mac version.

Mozilla and FireFox - These advanced web browsers have Mac versions as well. Best of all, many FireFox Extensions work with the Mac versions of FireFox and Mozilla/SeaMonkey.

Digital Lifestyle - The iPod and iTunes started as Mac only. With MacOS X, and the bundled iLife suite, you’ll find more you can do with your music, digital photos, movies and other media. Create a Video DVD of your family photos, create a podcast and more, all with the tools included with every new Mac.
