5 Reasons Why PC Folks Don’t Buy Macs

1. They love the smell of a (continuously) newly re-installed operating system.
2. The boys at the ASP.net Meetup would laugh them.
3. Shiny MacBook would clash with lovely mud-brown Zune.
4. Have to give up Internet Explorer, cold turkey!
5. Too hard to transfer all those files over.

There’s no help for items 1 to 4, but Belkin International takes on number 5. With the aptly named Switch-to-Mac, the cable and software let’s you move your stuff and some of your configurations from PC to Mac. For example, your IE prefs are applied to Safari; My Pictures go to iPhoto; My Crappy Songs go to Find Better Songs on iTunes… you get the idea… all for just $49.

For an extra 20 bucks, Belkin will try to find you some new friends.
