I love technical books that have a sense of humor. This is one such book. Not only it's funny and light-hearted, it's also very informative and easy-to-read. Highly recommended for anyone making the switch like me.

This book is for not very tech savvy people (personally I'd like less explanations of the obvious) but can still show you some gems which you would find only by accident or after prolonged use of Mac OS X. It may not be worth reading in entirety but it's handy to have next to you.
