I did it... I really did it this time!!
I really did it this time...
After months and months (and months) of threating to switch to a Mac after Vista was released, and I was forced to use it (couldnt buy a new PC with out it), I took the first step down "Conversion Row" today and purchased a new 17" Mac Book Pro. This new purchase will replace my current PC workstation used for daily development and maintance on over 125 public and private .COM's and .MIL's. I am excited about the change and being able to follow in the footsteps of thoes that have gone before.
This was a move that was not made lightly (Mac's are not cheep ya know). Between all my rants about Vista and trying to develop I researched replacement applications for almost all the applications I use on a daily basis. I will try to put up a list of what I used on the PC side and what I switched to on the Mac side, and maybe some tips and tricks (you can never have enough tips and tricks, its like Jello).

I am able to buy PCs without the operating system installed all the time. Most independent stores will build it anyway you like including without an OS.

Format the PC and install Ubuntu (or any other Linux flavor)...
