Day 23
One thing that I have really been impressed with after 3+ weeks of Mac Book Pro use - is the browser. I'm really liking the responsiveness of Safari. So much so that I am now installing it on my Windows 7 box. I consider myself a Firefox user predominately, however, I've noticed Firefox on my PC has gotten a little obese lately with all the add-ons and it just doesn't perform as well as I'd like it too. I also use Internet Explorer for Microsoft related connections (SharePoint, Outlook Web Access, etc...). It's not my favorite of course - but a tool that's often needed. As far as Google Chrome -- we'll I'm a fan of it! However, I haven't made the switch from Firefox yet. I may make that switch, but before I do - I'm going to give Safari a try. For the MacBook, I have no reason to switch to Firefox or Chrome - but I will install it to experiment with it. The real test will be with my Win7 box. I plan to run a few timed tests on the Win7 box. The plan: 4 browsers loading 4 different web sites. I'll also compare the times with the MacBook Pro using the 3 browsers I will have on that. It will be an interesting to see which browser wins - and what platform performs best.
Stay tuned for more.
