Grrr... Apple ruined my Dell Notebook!

I find it very hard to use my dell notebook now... and after alot of thought im going to blame Apple for this.

Since using my new Macbook when i go back to my dell i struggle to use the touchpad to navigate as i keep trying to press it in to click... my windows+Q button does bugger all an i am too impatient to wait for the boot that i open up programs while windows is still thinking about working and crashing it.

now thanks to apple i feel like i have to abandon my notebook and focus my future computing in a 100% mac environment...

Rant over

Welcome to the light.

To ease your transition, might I suggest a Mac theme and pseudo-Dock for Windows?

cheers!

I installed windows 7 a few weeks ago before i got my macbook, however before then i had vista running with rocketdock as i always liked the dock idea in macs... as soon as i manage to transfer my itunes library i wont have much of a need for my PC anymore.

only thing i wasnt happy with my mac is that it wasted my time after the unboxing... i schedualed a full 3 hours to set it up and configure it and it took the best part of 20mins... and i somtimes feel lonley at night thinking that there is nothing to defrag or no registry to maintain with some adware program...

any sugestions on what i can do with all this free time ive got now as im lost!

LMAO - Some people just don't get it until they see it for themselves!
Welcome to bliss!

My wife had a student in class today complain about the computer he was using. He claimed his at home was so much easier, better, faster, . . . . .etc.
My wife asked: "You have a mac at home don't you?"
He proudly admitted to it.

After being a windows user for most of the previous decade, it took me about 4 months to completely cleanse my fears and insecurities. I now use that extra time for productive things.
