Dude, I’m getting a Mac!
I never thought the day would come, but within about a week, I should have a shiny new iMac on my desk at work. I’ve never really been interested in let alone actually used anything Apple-related (yes, that includes the iPod). But the new deputy dean at Wharton is a Mac man (complete with an iPhone to boot), so in my new position, which includes indirectly supporting him, I feel it would be a good idea for me to get some Mac experience.
My fears of switching to a Mac are somewhat mollified by virtualization software (like Parallels or VMware Fusion) that will allow me to run familiar Windows applications in the OS X environment. Thank God for that, because I hear that Entourage is crap compared to Outlook. I’m even wondering if I can take my current Windows Vista installation and plop it into VMware Fusion on the iMac. That would be HOT.
And if I totally hate it, I’ll just use Boot Camp to install Vista (if that’s even supported yet) and be on my merry way. But at least I’ll have tried!
UPDATE: I can take my current Vista installation, turn it into a VM, and use it in VMware Fusion. Totally hot.
