The resource to people switching to the Mac (and to MacLife altogether): Mac OS X integration, Mac-Windows interoperability, iPod and most Macintosh-related topics!

A Mac-switching that didn’t worked (but I don’t agree)

So far I read Rafe Needleman posts on Cnet News with much interest and somewhat agreed with his point of view.

This time I don’t.

His recent post Switcher’s lament: The case against Mac has several points that may ignite discussions from die-hard Mac lovers as well as from Mac-switchers.

An example: iTunes library moving from Windows to Mac OS X.
I’ve been either too lucky or dumb, but I’ve been moving music libraries back & forth since, say, iTunes 6.
Didn’t even relied on specific apps, just copy and wait for iTunes to rebuild its library on target PC/Mac.

The User interface part of the post is simple nonsense: it’s Mac OS X interface. Period. Sometimes Windows interface is not so consistent, isn’t it?

Skype on Mac auto-starting? Happy about running Vista under Boot Camp?

I’m thrilled.
As I wrote, previous posts by Mr. Needlman made sense to me, but this family tragedy tale about a couple of MacBooks mistreating a couple of grown-up professionals doesn’t compute.

I’d like to know your opinion about this.
