As a long-time Mac user, you shouldn’t have any problems switching. Check out Apple’s Get A Mac page at
There is also a page that explains options for moving from a PC:

If you can live without MS Office until January, there will be a new version out then. No sense in paying Bill twice.
If you absolutely cannot live without a favorite Windows-only application, check out Parallels or VMWare Fusion. You’ll need to buy a retail version of Windows in order to run it though. Do not buy Virtual PC because MS discontinued development of that application about a year ago.
Enjoy!
If you buy MS Office Mac now, I’m pretty sure you get a free (less minor shipping & handling charge) upgrade.
