Making the switch to the Mac

It might be an expensive and painful switch from Windows to Macintosh world, especially for smaller businesses, but some businesses believe that the effort is well worth it. Not only is it cheaper in the long run, but security is better, Macs tend to be easier to use, and interoperability is improved. Advancements in the Mac operating system, along with software and hardware compatibility, make this a reasonable time to consider a switch. SMBs are finding that it costs less than expected to switch to Apple and is less disruptive than anticipated. Productivity gains also are significant, far outweighing staff retraining costs and effort. Plenty of business software also exists today for the Mac, a change from years' past. In addition, there are huge libraries of open source programs that work on a Mac.
