And my work life happened inside a Windows 7 Professional virtual machine in Parallels. As previously told, OS X really sold me with its elegance and stability, and even though I tried running my MacBook with just Windows for a while, I found the driver support to be lacking in sophistication (Apple’s hardware driver support for Windows, while there, isn’t designed to run the pretty hardware at its best).įor the first year or so after buying my Mac, I opted for a ‘dual life.’ My web life-blogging, surfing, personal email, banking, Twitter, Facebook, etc.-took place on the Mac. My work is for a software consulting firm that works in the Microsoft space, so compatibility with my coworkers-and appearances in front of clients-was a significant factor. As I blogged at the time, I was originally attracted to the beautiful and affordable hardware but couldn’t conceive of a scenario where I’d actually run any OS other than Windows. As a relative newcomer to the Mac, my perspective is that of a switcher.
