I am sure your comment on Mac vs Win could start some flame wars...

I'll start next :-)... I have a Mac Book Pro too, and much prefer it  
over Windows... though have not tried Windows 7 much at all.

The One menu thing... you grow to like it... well, at least I actually  
like it better now.

One thing that I still find infuriating though is that you can only  
size windows by the bottom right corner... why, why, why make sizing  
windows so hard???!!

And there are a few other things... but generally I still like my  
Mac... though support may have me thinking hard next time round and I  
will have a good look at Windows 7

Regards
Colin
