> Well here is the bottom line..ask anyone who is bilingual with these things..those of us who started with Windows based computers can find things we like about that system. But once getting past the learning curve when moving to Mac, well there is no turning back.

I have dozens of computers at home and at work, Mac, Win, Linux, NetBSD, Solaris. But the vast majority of my work is done on two workstations: at the office, a WinXP desktop, and at home, a Mac Mini. I use most of the same applications on both, and administer a world-wide secure network from those two command posts with equal ease.

Personally, I'd like to have Windows Explorer instead of Finder, on my Macs. Other than that, OS-X pisses me off far less than Windows, so you can say I prefer it.

RAGE Macintosh Explorer is okay, but not quite a complete solution...

Anyway, being highly multi-lingual, I must say that Mac hardware with OS-X and VMware Fusion for all the others, is the best of all worlds.

We are the Sneeches with STARS upon thars.

Stay with your PC.

You don’t need a Mac.

These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.

I'm not a power user, really entertainment, sub for TV. And photo editing hobby.(Love iPhoto editor)

I used Windows Explorer a lot and do miss it also.

My wife still has a PC. Her computer needs are about a 10th mine. IOW e-mail and card games.
She's switching to a Mac shortly. She doesn't know it yet though. :^)
