Misc. Reading

While I am waiting on my iMac to arrive here are some helpful articles I have been reading that you might enjoy as well.

First, some reviews of the new iMac hardware:
CNET : http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/apple-imac-20-inch/4505-3118_7-32564364.html?tag=prod.txt.1

PCMag: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2169523,00.asp

Also, here is an article talking about the new iWork vs Mac MS Office: http://www.tuaw.com/2007/08/26/analysis-iwork-and-office-for-mac/

I was previously unaware of the support in iWork for opening MS Office formats. I will definately be giving that a try before installing MS Office on the Mac.

*UPDATE*
Thanks to one of my visitors who provided the following articles to read:
A Month with a Mac
A Month with a Mac - Part II

Does anyone have any other resources of Windows users diving off into Mac OS X?

Your Mac will come with a month trial of both Office for Mac and iWork 08 so you can try them out side by side before laying down any cash.

This is a fantastic article/webpage that I found months ago. I think it's the same one I read. might req. more digging, but, i list numerous research papers that analyzed the learning curve for children using Macs vs. PCs and the common myths and excuses people and companies/institutions give for going with the Windows machines.
