Congrats, PC’s are primed for self-destruct mode after 2 years, regardless of brand or price. Their solution? – Reboot.

Welcome to the Mac world. You certainly won’t be going back.

Well seriously though, Apple decided to release their new laptops for a reasonable price, how could you resist? They make things work and they make them look slick. I am personally a Windows guy, probably will always be…even though I put my toobar at the top of the desktop and I got Rocketdock so that it looks like mac… uhhh…good buy, hope you like it. If you are getting a new laptop and you just want something that works…best option!

@Faran: Nope, haven’t tried Windows 7, but I definitely will. I do still have a Windows/Linux machine around for testing purposes.

Alt+tab? Have you ever used Exposé? I find it way more user friendly than alt+tab on any OS.

Scrollable list of installed applications? (cringe) The computer geek in me says that this is the best way to find applications. Launch Spotlight (command+spacebar) and start typing the first few letters of the application. Way faster than scrolling through a list of every application you have installed on your machine.
