There are some things though, still that are just annoying to any normal Windows user. Like when one closes a window by clicking the little x button. It doesn't actually close the application, just the window. Or when you double click on the title bar of a windows (to make it bigger or smaller like on Windows) it minimizes the window.

You don't even realize how much you use tiny little features like that until they are not there anymore. Not that I'm knocking OS X. It's just hard for a Windows user to get used to. Oh, yeah, the application install (at least on Tiger) can be a little bit weird but it seems to vary on which application you are installing.

But those aren't really major issues.

When I used my Mac everyday and did not touch Windows, I got so use to the MAC and especially scrolling the window with just two fingers on the mouse pad; it was actually easier to get around than in Windows. ESPECIALLY when you get all the shortcut keys down. The shortcuts keys are awesome.....

just drivers ;) I do like the mostly standardized keyboard shortcuts of OS X, makes things pretty quick if you remember them.
