Switchers’ POV: PC to Mac: File Compatibility.

Are you a PC user itching to buy a Macintosh computer? I have been a PC user pretty much all my life, since the death of my first Apple PowerBook100. I recently switched to the OS X platform on December 23, 2008 and I am about to explain briefly what things to expect to cross platform your files, and what may go wrong.

First of all, it’s obvious to make a back up of you PC HDD, every single file. This can be the stupidest thing you can do to NOT do this. When you back up your files, you most likely had Office on your Vista or XP computer. When you get the Mac, no program can open these unless you purchase Apple iWork or Office for Mac (I have Office), or download the free NeoOffice of OpenOffice. Ok. You have your office files. CHECK.

Some people, like me used Outlook to keep a hold of email. See, every Mac comes with Mail, which is great. If you purchase Office for Mac, you get an Outlook style program called Entourage. Anyway, you probably backed up you email and you contacts. Well, in a sense, Apple is not Outlook-friendly. I ran into problem including Mail cant open my older emails, and will not Import my contacts. Darn, spent a day adding them manually. CHECK.

Other than getting used to keyboard commands including Copy and Paste (I had no idea how to do it at first). Switching to Mac is truly amazing. I would give Apple the thumbs up on build quality (Even on a 4yr old G5), OS eye candy, and more. I mean these were just some of the things you have to keep in mind. Leave a comment if you can think of anything else!

BTW, keep in mind, sharing a network with a PC works, but when using a networked printer on a PC is a pain to get to!
