I've been using Apple comps since the Commodore 64 stopped being top pimp on the block. Then again, I've been using Windows just as long. The biggest difference is... using command instead of control. There are also a few features from both platforms that don't exist on the other. Expose is the first that comes to mind as far as productivity, for me at least. I couldn't live without it at this point.
At the end of the day, you must remember, the brand matters not. Computers are merely tools. How well you work with said tool is what matters most. It will take some getting used to, and it will either frustrate the fuck out of you or make you fall in love and want to hump your firewire 800 port... or not (hopefully not).
Ok... I'm drunk... and sleepy.
I'm done. Thank you. G'nite.

I don't remember what it's like to use a Windows machine. Seriously, I don't. Last time I bought one was in 1996.

You'll get used to it. Just read tutorials, support forums, previous QBN threads, etc. Google is your friend.

Welcome aboard! The discussion forums on the Apple site are really good. They have forums for ex Windows users, so you can ask even the most basic questions without feeling like an idiot.

I'm getting one delivered in 10 days. I don't really know how to use a mac. what's a good site that goes through the hot keys and how to change preferences? Simple things like I read you can eject a cd by dragging its icon into the trash bin.

- If you have to pay $99 to learn how to use, it isn't designed very well.404NotFound

I got my MacBook Pro 15 inch today.
I've been a Windows user forever.I have to say the amount of thought and detail put into this machine is incredible. I can say the same for OSX. I can't believe I used Windows for so long.
Anyone on the fence about whether or not to switch to Mac, I highly suggest it.
