  1. Comment - A Half-Million Mac Converts in 2005

    (Jul 20, 2005 - 2:51 PM)

    As a Windows expert and a new Mac mini owner I have to say the mini is not a good machine to switch with. The base memory is a joke it needs to be at least 512GB or better yet 1GB. It is not able to run all the visual features of Tiger due to the video card. It is a good web surfing and email machine. As for OS X available software is a show stopper. It does run all the majors, MS Office, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc, but smaller apps are lacking. No real good ftp client and if you want to backup your DVD's you will have to shell out a chunk of money and still not have anything close to DVD Shrink. That goes for most small apps. Everytime I look for a replacement for a free program I used in Windows an OS X equivelant costs at least $25.00 with no freeware in sight.
