the worst part about going from PC to Mac is that you get pretty frustrated when things don't work right. We have one Mac here at school and there is always something wrong with it and it's not intuitive to figure out what it is and what to do to fix it. Even working with applications is such a piss off because you are always looking for the same sort of options that are on PC and it's hard to find them at first.

OSX is garbage. In typical Mac fashion, they sacrificed speed and usability in favour of aesthetic.

Good choice, i thought of doing the same, bute the only problem is ocassionaly a lot of aplications i run on the pc dont work on the mac and other problem being the software which isnt supported by all windows devolopers.
but if i were doing that i would switch over.

I have been torn between mac and pc for a few years now...Interior Design is PC based, so baiscally that determined my decision.
Have you used OSX often?? If you can honetly picture yourself not right clicking for eternity, then go for it. What I did was I used a friends mac for about a month or so, and decided I am a PC gurl... Also the organization of drives with windows is drilled into my head, I found it hard to adjust to, I kept finding myself looking for My Computer !! Hehe.
Small things annoy me about OS, with respect to software. With MSN you cant view others profile pictures and you cant use webcam, hopefully they will release an updated version soon !! I also prefer the PC version of DC++ much better !!

Grass is always greener on the otherside of the fence bud...Do ur research and play with ur friends OSx10.3 a little more just to make sure u do feel what ur feeling and its not a short term crush.....the comfort, ease of use & application base that Windows offers is unmatched....reliability on other hand is questionable.....'Where you go from here is a choice i leave to you'
