Covering the latest in Mac OS X v.10.4 'Tiger,' Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition explains the hundreds of innovative new features to the Mac OS and how you can understand and make the very most of each.
For all you new switchers out there running Tiger, or those who have switching friends or family, the O'Reilly Network has released a new book titled Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual.
This book is excellent for those Windows users who are either switching to the Mac or are adding a Mac to a household of office where PC's are still being used. The book paves the way in just enough detail so that a Windows user can transition to the Mac, illustrating the important similarities and differences. I believe the author goes a little overboard in his praise for the Mac operating system vis-a-vis the Windows OS, but the more I use the new Mac we have recently bought, the more I have become convinced that the author has a point! Whereas all graphical user interface operating systems have much in common, the author points out the relative simplicity of the Mac OS, carefully guiding the Windows user to make use of his or her Windows experience to ease the learning process of the Mac. In addition, the many features of the Mac are explained in more than enough detail to understand what they are and how to use them.
