The main difference is that you close, minimize and maximize your screen by clicking on the upper left instead of upper right. Otherwise it's no different than a PC except for performance.
Although I haven't used a PC in years. My work computers for the last 10 years have been Macs and my home computer is as well. I'm in the printing industry so I've been around Macs from the first day they came out and love them. |

only a couple hours into it and its different. I'm used to windows and tabs, now i scroll between pages
i had every intention to get the Air yesterday but ended up with the Pro 17" right now its a little tough but as i said its only been a couple hours. I'm sure it'll get easier in time... not much i can argue here... |

Welcome to the lighter, faster, better side of computers
The multi-gesture trackpad alone makes me never want to go back to a Windows machine--any time I have to use a friend's PC laptop and I try to use the gestures on the trackpad I have to stop and laugh |

I'm gonna pick up a 27" iMac the next time they are refreshed (with the Ivy Bridge chips). It'll replace my current and only Windows machine, though I'll run Win7 via Boot Camp on it.
In the mean time I'll have to make do with my Macbook Pro, my other Macbook Pro (work laptop), Macbook, and Mac Mini. And a couple of iPads. |
