I am not expecting a response from apple, but I do hope they visit the forums.
I realize that I am only a minister and not a marketing genius, but I do have a thought. If I am apple and my goal is to get as many people to switch as possible - I should want to make it as easy as possible. You would think they have done that if you visit their site and read about switching. However, the two things that most people need to switch are : address and calendar. The very two things that are the most difficult on the apple. Hard to believe that in 2006 you would not have a way to do that.
I think apple should provide a shareware /software on their site to make that happen if you are not going to accept a common windows export. It needs to be something that I can download on my mac and read the csv files.
There is a $10 piece of software that I can load on the windows side to make happen : O2M I think. However, I cannot load software on a company laptop - against policy. Do not use the palm so that leaves out MissingSync. Besides - should you have to pay just to switch the basics? So all that is just about left is to enter each item.
That is just enough to make me want to take my new macbook back. I love my new MacBook, but we have got to make it easier.
Thanks for letting me vent.
