[QUOTE="xdunlapx, post: 1472750, member: 261057"] I have to fully agree here. I'd say for me it took a few weeks at most to fully get comfortable with Mac OS X. I just switched in early August and am so very much pleased that I did make the jump. I love my Mac! I will never go back to Windows. The only thing that would force me back to Windows is if this mac needed repair work and I had to use my 17" notebook that I had before this MBP. I've used Linux for the past 10 years for the most part, some Windows thrown in here and there. I'm used to different operating system since I have used at least 60 distributions of Linux over the years. Now I didn't use all of them for very long, mostly just experimenting in different versions to see if I liked it more than previous ones I've tried. I guess you could say I have an adventurous spirit when it comes to electronics. I mostly feel that the switch has been one of the few things that really changed my life. I've only had one issue with Mac OS X and that was when something went wrong somewhere in the system which made me format and reinstall. But even then that process was simple to do and all of my apps were reinstalled during the reinstallation and I didn't have to touch a thing for it to do that! I do use Onyx to repair file permissions and whatnot but even doing that didn't help the situation. I wish I knew what caused the problem (It was probably Sophos antivirus) but I wont put any AV on it again. I don't trust it even if it is specifically "mac friendly". I love my mac and will never go back to what I believe is an inferior operating system. Macs may be quite expensive but in my opinion, well worth the cost. [/QUOTE]
