Product Description:
Maybe you've been persuaded by Apple's "Switch" ad campaign. Maybe you've been seduced by the sleek, sculpted lines of today's Macs. Or maybe you're just fed up with windows. In any case, there's never been a better time to switch to Mac OS X Panther--and there's never been a better book to help you do it. This funny, authoritative guide takes an honest approach to the three challenges involved in crossing from Microsoft's worldview to Apple's: Transferring your stuff. Moving files from a PC to a Mac by cable, network, or disk is the easy part. But how do you extract things like your email, address book, calendar, Web bookmarks, buddy list, desktop pictures, and MP3 files? Now you'll know. Re-creating your software suite. The big-name programs (from Microsoft, Adobe, and others) are available in both Mac and Windows versions, and their documents require no conversion on the Mac. But hundreds of other programs are available only for Windows. This book describes the Macintosh equivalents and explains how to move data to them. Learning Mac OS X Panther. Once you've moved into the Macintosh mansion, a final task awaits: Learning your way around. Fortunately, you're in good hands with the author of Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, the #1 bestselling guide to Mac OS X Panther. Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Panther Edition offers warm, witty writing and reveals the shortcuts, surprises, and design touches that make the Mac the most passionately championed computer in the world.
This should be the book that comes with Mac Computers -

Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition Review

I Just bought my Macbook Pro 6 weeks ago and experienced many PC to Mac switcher issues. This book is really helping me get acquainted with my new mac. The author attempts to add a touch of humor to make an otherwise boring 400 page instruction manual easy to read. It didn't work, but I didn't buy a piece of fiction and I'm not expecting to be entertained; I'm expecting to learn how to fully utilize my new Mac, and this book delivers as promised. After looking at [...] price for the book, my only regret is that I didn't buy it here. Instead I picked it up at a Fry's Electronics and paid a whopping $[...] for it! Sorry, amazon, I should have been a loyal shopper and tried you first.

Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition Review

Excellent. Lots of details that I can use or if too complicated for me, can ignore. But they are there for me to decide. Similar books try to dumb down the information and consequently leave out things that I could use. It just fits what I was looking for. Plenty of pictures in case your own computer is not responding like the text seems to say. Text is not written as a text book but with a lightness(not just going for a joke). Since this is by definition a comparison of two computer systems, there is no dumping on MS; just pointing out the differences.

Great book and very well illustrated. I found a wealth of information in an easy format to read and understand. I would highly recommend this book! I had used the Mac for a while before getting this book and wish I would have known about it a lot sooner.
