I don't know if people zoom in on text or if that's even possible (coming over from windows) but I can't do it. It just looks too stretched to me.
Is there some zoom feature I should mess around with?
I don't even fullscreen Safari on my 11" MBA. There is just no point as most web sites use a fixed width, so the majority of the screen will just be the background color.
Does OSX have anything cool like this to help you distribute screen space equally around the screen, like if I had 3 apps could I easily space them one third each along the screen or do I have to p*ss around dragging and resizing till it works?
That's one Windows feature I like. I would download this, it costs a few bucks but it's not bad at all: http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/cinch/
You're losing built-in snap functions, but you can get it back, plus you're gaining Mission Control, which you're gonna love.

THanks mate! Quick Q, what built in snap functions do I lose and can they perform the same function as Cinch?
Basically Cinch just brings over all of Windows' snap features. OS X doesn't really have anything like that, but I really like having the option. If you weren't already used to it, it probably wouldn't bother you. Check out the video in the link I posted to get an idea of what it can do.
Even though you won't have window snapping without another app, it's a pretty small price to pay for what you're getting (notwithstanding the price of he iMac itself, of course). Mission Control is a great window management tool, and I think the way the Mac handles windows makes multitasking easier. Lots of great options, I don't think you'll regret making the jump!
Wouldnt be caught dead using Safari. It's still a memory hog/leak. Chrome, though, yes.
