1) Right click = Control + Click.

2) You can use .exe files on a Mac as long as you have booted to Windows. If you are in OSX, then you can use Parallels or another emulator to run Windows, otherwise no.

3) No, the Mac doesn't come with the drive partitioned as many PCs do.

4) I wish I knew that, I'd like the grey screen too.

5) I wish knew. It's more fun this way though.

Well, you just drag the images out from the browser to the desktop or whichever other folder you want to. If you want to drag it into say "pictures" folder, drag the image down to the Finder icon in the dock, and press spacebar. then drag wherever.

However, you do have a right-click. It is Ctrl+Click. If you have a macbook, then keep two fingers on the trackpad and click (or tap two fingers). Otherwise you can connect any external mouse with right click.

You don't need to partition your drives. Just use it with 1 partition and it will be fine. Partitioning is an old habit due to disk defragmentation and is best left to the Windows world. Just create a new folder in your home directory (Mac HD > Users > yourhomefolder>)

Background in Photoshop? Press F to enter the different modes. Otherwise, there's no such thing as "fullscreen" on the mac. You'll get used to it cause it's a really great way to multitask.

Just switched and expect to be an expert already? Just give it some time and it will grow on you... LMAO indeed.
