Welcome to M-F!

Generally, switching to Apple is no brainer. It is a very intuitive operating system and takes a very little time to accustom. Here you will find a nice guide for new users.

apple should have a PDF on their site. just search your specific model.
you won't need it. you'll figure out over the week all the major differences and then, as i am, you'll start learning the little things.

That is a great link!!! Thank you Pulse-8.. and thank you to Schweb for the original!!!

I whole heartedly agree.... Quicksilver is without question the most amazing freeware I have ever used, Mac or PC.... and I am merely scratching the surface of what it can do.
