Usually, mixing Microsoft’s and OS X’s doesn’t turn out well. Lets take a few examples; iTunes and Safari beautifully on OS X but unfortunately leaves a lot to be desired back on Windows, Microsoft Office runs beautifully averagely on Windows but unfortunately leaves a lot to be desired on OS X. The pattern doesn’t stop there and well… as you’d expect… Windows Live Messenger runs pretty well on Windows (if not a little cluttered) but leaves a lot to be desired on OS X.

Now, how do I differentiate my first post on my blog from the millions of others which start with the sentence…

“Hi, this is my new blog. I hope for many more posts in the future. Please keep reading.”
