Excellent Source for Transitioning from Windows

Microsoft Windows has been my operating system of choice for years. But Apple's OS X product caught my attention from Day One. After the Intel-based Macs were on the market for awhile, I decided it was time for me to take the plunge. "Getting StartED with Mac OS X Leopard" has proved to be an invaluable tool to ease transition between Windows and Leopard. Don't get me wrong: I still have a soft spot in my heart for Windows and have installed Vista Home Premium on my iMac. But now with Microsoft's awesome Office 2008 for Macintosh, I am finding myself visiting the Vista partition less and less. If you are a person who was "brought up" on Windows, but now looking into a Mac, I can wholeheartedly recommend this book as a good source to get the ball rolling. After you put in your order for your Mac, the very next thing you'll want to do is order this book.
