      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!

        Ctrl Click. Easy peasy.

          Pretty easy indeed. Not as easy as just having 2 mouse buttons though.

            Mac's are foolproof.

              And the new laptops have a multi touch trackpad which is quite funky...

                When was this?

                Macs have shipped with a two button mouse for the last two or three years.

                  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!!

                    I tried Ubuntu some years ago and was impressed with it. I have not used it for work though so no idea whether or not it would suit me....

                    I was a bit put off by the nightmare that was installing a wireless adapter...seemed to be a long winded affair...

                      Are you sure? My MacBook Pro has one button and the new one I have ordered onloy has one I think. My MacBook only had one...
