Thanks for the links. I just learned about Expose and Spaces. Oh man, those are awesome. I LOVE MY MAC!!!:apple:
 
Congrats! I really hope you enjoy! I too will be making the switch in about a week or two! Just gotta gather up the money...

Have fun! And Welcome to the Mac Club!

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the Mac and MR communities. In means of what made me switch, it had to be all the great features of Leopard and all the issues I was having with Microsoft.
 
it's neat to see people excited about features that a little more jaded users take for granted. Expose IS pretty cool, when all you've had is WinDoze.
