I’ve spent a little time on the wifes macbook now. There are a few issues that I’m sure we’ll iron out but it seems pretty snappy and everything you need is relatively handy. But the bouncy flashy aspects are a little annoying. I’m sure that you can turn them off but Mrs. Doc would kill me.
My biggest fear is that on my next computer Microsoft is going to “borrow” the Mac UI. I turned off all the animation, special effects on Vista but still lost a few of the ways I typically interacted with the UI. I’m afraid they will change everything and I will feel like I am all thumbs like I do on a Mac.
I agree with you change sucks.
At some point you get really used to the Mac and it is really hard to use Windows. I have to spend time in IE, therefore windows everyday. Things like finding files and how the clicking works is very nutty to me. I just wish web developers took a few seconds to preview their work on a Mac and not use the proprietary features. It drives me crazy. There are a bunch of workarounds like Flip4Mac and using Firefox with user-agent-switcher set. But it just kills me to be going into a conference call with a client to find the webinar just does not work with Mac.
