Switching to the Mac Summary

Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual by David Pogue

Here, David Pogue explains how Windows users can make a relatively trouble-free switch to Mac OS X. Novices and power users alike will learn how to move files; adapt to Mac versions of programs such as Microsoft Office, FileMaker, Photoshop and Quicken; find familiar controls in the new system; set up a network to share files with PCs and Macs; and adapt old printers, scanners, and other peripherals. An important part of this book is Appendix A, the "Where'd It Go?" Dictionary, which includes an alphabetical listing of every familiar Windows feature, and where you can find its equivalent in Mac OS X.
