David Coursey, head honcho at AnchorDesk, is switching to the Mac for a month to report on what a Wintel user would see if they follow the path that Apple is pushing for.

What makes this interesting is that AnchorDesk is frequently seen as being anti-Mac, publishing articles that contain minor mistakes about the platform, and generally falling for the Windows media hype hook, line, and sinker. But that’s the opinion of Mac fanatics, and we’re generally discounted by the outside world.

It seems that Coursey is going to be using a G3 processor Mac that’s just lying around, which tilts the game in Wintel’s favor slightly. All new Mac desktops run at least a G4 processor, the next generation up; only the iBooks still ship with G3s. Mac OS X likes a lot of RAM and eats a lot of processor power, and most of the complaints about OS X on the Mac lists come from people running older hardware.

Still, an interesting development.
