[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1472686, member: 24098"] If all you've ever used is Windows, then going to a Mac will be an adjustment, for sure. The basics are all there - windows, pointers, icons, etc. but there are differences in terms of the tools used to accomplish different kinds of tasks. Some of these differences are subtle, others not so much. For the most part, you just have to take your "Windows cap" off and put on your "Mac cap". For me, that took about 2 weeks, but then, I didn't cut my teeth on Windows and in fact, switched to it at one point from another operating system. A good book, like [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1449330274/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]Mac OS X Mountain Lion: The Missing Manual[/URL] will help, not to mention Apple's own tutorials for switchers like this one: [url=http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/]Apple - Support - Switch 101[/url] Even if you decide to stick with Windows, you'll be out of your comfort zone at some point, as Windows 8 is quite a bit different from all other versions that preceded it.
