not all is bad on mac, but its fanatics keep me away from it for a long time :-) I was convinced to switch when apple came out with dual intel and the new flash player is actually quite fast on a mac (a couple of iterations ago it was terrible). Just be prepared to adjust to the thing, it won't adjust to you like a pc can. My mind may have been warped into pc like thinking but i find mac os finder much more cumbersome than windows explorer (xp) - for example all folder are inbetween files and never on top as i was used to - this makes for messy browsing i find. Running many programs at the same time causes more trouble quickly, and all microsoft programs like excel, entourage (outlook for mac) and word run like shite and slow the whole thing down so much that i cannot even run other programs at the same time comfortably. I was ued to running all adobe stuff + all microsoft stuff + 20+ IE windows at the same time - you can forget about that. I am more focussed now though :-) These issues will probably be solved when everything runs natively on intel, but i switched too early and it annoys me that my most expensive computer ever, might look better, but does not perform as well as a quite old 800 euro pc (compared to a 2700 euro mac). I want to love it, but now it is a love - hate relationship. And damn do i like to tell mac fanatics about it's shortcomings :-)
