[QUOTE="fleurya, post: 282571, member: 22866"] I can fix all of that for you in about 5 minutes :) I've only had mine for a couple weeks, so I don't have a full 5: 1. Mac has faster startup/shutdown 2. Better looking GUI (from XP) 3. constant system updates. (always thought it was funny that I got updates ready to install when I wasn't even connected to the internet?!?) and on balance: 1. I actually miss start menu and taskbar (which I had dock-like frequently used program incon in) 2. lack of upgradability (revently felt like I would like more video RAM, but can't just go get it) 3. Outlook!! I know that's probably a shocker, but I'm very good at using it, have to use it very heavily at work, and between email, contacts, calendar, tasks, scheduling, file sharing, "outlook today", and above all-syncing all of that with my PDA, I not only miss it, but I can't function without it! (despite popular belief, those functions are all well-integrated together as well as with other Office programs if you know what you're doing) [/QUOTE]
