well, if you are new to OS X, then you'll find it to be different than windows, and might even possibly think that its worse than windows. But once you start using it for some time, it is much easier to use and makes a lot more sense than windows. it doesn't crash as often as windows either. I use both, but OS X is far superior IMO. Things just work ! you wont have to sit around fixing one thing after another on ur OS just to get a simple task done. Just give it a try ... unless you do, i dont think you can choose between the two:) cheers, nepalikochoro
