If Windows on a PC runs slow, will it perform same way on Mac?

[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 951026, member: 24098"] Carbonite is one of many on-line backup solutions. The trouble is, that most people's Internet connections are an order of magnitude slower than connecting even the slowest USB backup drive directly to your new Mac. Using an on-line backup provider, you could be waiting days or weeks to complete just the backup, and then of course days or weeks to restore it to your Mac. My recommendation, if you want to go this route, would be to simply use Microsoft's own backup software (built into every recent version of Windows) to backup your data to an external drive. Alternatively, you could simply share your profile directory over a network connection to the Mac and transfer your files this way. And of course, if you buy your Mac at the Apple Store, they will be glad to transfer your data if you haul your old PC in, at no charge. [/QUOTE]
