[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 974564, member: 24098"] This is a very important point, and one that trips up a lot of long-time Windows users. Let me be clear - if you are entirely satisfied with Windows, you will most likely be frustrated with a Mac. Just as Windows has its own eccentricities that you have come to understand, the Mac does too. And you will find as a switcher that you need to drop your Windows habits and get used to doing things the Mac way. If you're not inclined to do that, or you don't like change, you'll be very dissatisfied. I can't tell you how many people we have here on this forum who come to complain because they're trying to make their Mac work like Windows and expect that is should be so out of the box. Yes, there are many tweaks you can make to be more comfortable, but at the end of the day, you need to take your Windows hat off and put your Mac hat on and realize that "different" does not mean "inferior", it's just a matter of personal preference. Baggss' post here is spot on. Now, if you are sick of Windows and are ready for something different, by all means, the Mac can be very rewarding. But don't do it just because your friends and family like it. [/QUOTE]
