Stuff that XP has that OSX doesn't...
The main thing that keeps me from going Mac only is the overall feeling of slowness that OSX has. Though it's rock solid, and does many things faster (thanks to PowerPC/BSD), simply scrolling through windows and stuff can be painful.
I like how from any explorer window in XP, you can type in a url, or network name and connect without manually executing a program.
I like how compressed files can be executed and manipulated without actually unzipping them, and no additional software is required.
If OSX had the speed of XP or even OS9, I'd be Mac only at work.
Now at home....I gotta have my games, so I'll always be using some version of windows. ;-)
