The Switching Diaries – Tales of Moving Away From the Dark Side

We've selected some of the best stories from Switchers moving from Windows to their first Mac. Like those "Switch" commercials in years gone by, but in long form, these stories will give you a glimpse into the transition of new Mac owners across the internet.

I hope the one thing that stands out among all these accounts is that the comment sections attached are filled with warm welcomes and offers of advice and help. I think this is very typical of the Mac community. You'll also find in the comments more tales of switching if you choose to wade into it. So with out further ado…
