Just in time for my new Mac Book Pro, idiosyncrasies.org has a nice list of applications that will help me Switch from Windows XP to Mac OSX with ease! Add those applications with Parallels and BootCamp, and now there has never been a better time to switch! Â From the perspective of a current Mac user like myself this would be great for adding Windows XP to your current computer, but the real benefit here might be to give people who are not yet ready to abruptly switch from XP to OS X the ability to run both operating systems at the same time for a while on any new Mac they purchase. This is a very smart marketing move by Apple and I see minimal downside potential for them.
