[QUOTE="VanillaEps, post: 204198, member: 16728"] I'm planning on purchasing a MacBook Pro. I currently have a PC desktop and a PC notebook which both run XP. As this is the Switcher Hangout, I'd like to get feedback on those of you that have made the switch or know of those that have made the switch from XP to Mac OS. I played with a MBP at the Apple Store yesterday and everything seemed pretty intuitive. The only things that puzzled me were the following: When I opened a program or application and subsequently X'ed it, the program was not technically closed. I had to click on the status bar at the top and Exit the application. I'm used to having a Start/Programs Menu on XP. There doesn't seem to be one on the Mac OS. Is this what the Objectdock is for? Similarly, I suppose the Objectdock also takes the palce of the Quick Launch utility on XP. Otherwise, everything else is pretty straightforward. [/QUOTE]
