I just saw Jon Udell's article about the Sun's white-box Linux desktop and while Jon was talking specifically about what sounds like more confusion from Sun, it got me thinking about what it would take to move to Mac / OSX. My short list of apps that I actually use at home:
- Quicken has to work. Just checked, that's available
- Some sort of office package. There's good old MS Office, but that price tag! I've been using StarOffice at home, but there's no OSX version. Mac's already expensive, add ~$400 for Office, and I could buy a really nice wintel machine.
- A JDK
- Radio
- A good code / XML editor.
- I'd like to have .NET/Rotor/Mono available, but last I checked, there's no OSX port.
