Confusion is a natural state of being -
I tried a Mac where there was one for casual use in the coffee room of a web developer client site I was at.
The thing I just couldn't get used to was the ridiculous one-button mouse. It's like trying to run, and then remembering you only have one leg - you just keep falling over!Comment

Macs have shipped with a two button mouse for the last two or three years."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

I got fed up constantly patching my XP laptop so bought a powerbook. I now have 3 macs as they are easy to use (and, imho, more secure). I don't have AV on any of them but I probably will as time goes on.
But thats just my experience. A colleague who uses Ubuntu showed me it the other day and that looks pretty good too.
As for Vista, jeez!!Older and ...well, just older!!Comment

I was a bit put off by the nightmare that was installing a wireless adapter...seemed to be a long winded affair..."If you can read this, thank a teacher....and since it's in English, thank a soldier"Comment
