Sleeping with The Enemy: Learning Windows for Mac Users
Several Reasons this Book is Important and Useful
- Computer book best seller lists prove that readers need introductory computer books.
- Many people learn the Macintosh first in schools and in small businesses and so are faced with the transition this book addresses.
- Because the Macintosh continues to sell well, more and more computer users will encounter both the Mac OS and Windows and will need to transfer their skills.
- Uses an approach that leverages the reader's existing knowledge, easy the learning process.
- Written in an informal, sometimes humorous tone (hence the proposed title) common to the Macintosh culture that will make a possibly painful transition more comfortable.
- There is no direct competition to a book with this approach. This has been verified by bookstore visits and searches through Amazon.com, the Barnes and Noble web site, and major publisher's databases.
- The potential for sequels:
- Advanced Windows for Advanced Mac Users
- Windows NT for Macintosh Administrators
- Learning Macintosh for Windows Users
- Learning Linux for Mac Users
