[QUOTE="jskwarek, post: 534525, member: 39170"] I made the hardcore switch from PC to mac about two months ago at home, and completely ditched my PC at home. Figured that was the only way I was going to truly learn the mac. I support PC and M$ at work so I get my fix there. Made the change for what sounds like the same reasons you are thinking about making the change. Something new, and tired of Vista "upgrade" problems. I'm a big keyboard guy with little use for the mouse once in the program I'm using and I've found that most keyboard short cuts cut over fairly similarly. Biggest change is holding command and apple key for most short cuts instead of windows or ctrl key. There are some commands like hitting the home key to jump to the beginning of the row that don't work and I'm still figuring out work arounds, but for the most part it's been a fun and exciting change over. And it's been a long time since I've been "excited" about working on any computer. So far I've created books through iPhoto for Christmas gifts, and started learning all Apple products and have totally abandoned any aftermarket software including the Adobe line so I can get the full Apple experiment, therefore I can't say how good the other software cuts over but so far I've been happy with my mac switch.
