Everyone seems to think that there is a huge learning curve when going to a Mac. I went over to the dark side 4 years ago and yes, there is a difference. But if someone as old as I am can learn the system, anybody can. Biggest change is learning that you don't delete in Mac, you send it to trash :)
I think there is a bigger learning curve to the Windows OS. Its changing a lot between every new upgrade...7 to 8, 8 to whatever comes next. In four years I've upgraded my Mac OS and really never noticed a change. Programs still work as they always did. I have to admit, I partitioned my HD so i can run both, Mac and Windows but the only time I go to Windows is for the Family Tree Maker. :)
Then best think I can say for Mac is that its over 4 years old and as up to date now as it was when I bought it and I have no reason to get a new one. With a PC I could seldom get over 2 years out of one without it pooping out.
