Has anyone gotten worse using Windows after using OS X?

Yes, I keep trying to use Expose in Windows and spending a second or two trying to figure out why my computer isn't working.
I've also been known as the 'resident computer tech' for the family. I have a win2k machine and a win 98 machine. Now that i have my mac i just get so upset with the hassle of fixing windows so it will work. everything I can do is a band-aid because of spyware and crap that downloads. I just get thankful for my mac and that i don't have to fix it, (My win2k box is pretty stable as I worked for like 4 days making it more secure adn stable but it still has issues on occasion, mind you nothing like my father-in-laws xp machine that one is a mess). I do find that I am quite liking expose and miss it when using windows. I mix up the paste and copy functions as well. I think I am still quite proficient in windows, I've just garnered more contempt for it's lack of programming integrety. I even recommend upgrading to a mac over upgrading windows (my wife's friend just got a state of the art 233mhz pentium with win98, she can't use her ipod (even though I did suggest a method) so I told her she had two options, buy a mac mini or get win2k on it (she's cheap so I'm going to go the win2k route for her)...
sometimes I have to think about what to do when I start moving the mouse on a PC, I would like freeze for a second, then go 'oh yeah' and start doing what I need to do.
I use macos and windows every day 
Infact, right now i've got WoW running on my PC hooked upto a 17in LCD, and my powerbook next to it running Adium, Mail, iTunes and safari
Its perfect, great for a sneaky look at thottbot mid game too

Expose!
That happens to me ALL the time... specially since I have a LOT of windows open at one time, on both the Mac and the PC.

I do the exact same think before I realize that I'm working on the wrong machine. Otherwise I'm doing pretty good with both OS'.
The most annoying difference (being the mod of my home network of 6 comps) is the difference in the wireless programs. I'm so used to clicking on my airport thing and selecting a network. With my families PCs (4 PCs, 2 Macs), everyone has a different wireless program so I have to relearn every time how to change setting on there PCs. Urrggg. Thank God my brother is getting a 15" PB for HS graduation.
