I have to wonder:
1) Where the OP's "expections" are really derived from? Who/whom said that computing life would be hunky and/or dory by switching?
2) How as the OP tried to resolve issues by searching either this forum or even Google, for answers to the issues/
3) What, if any, positives has the OP encountered in switching? For instance, how much trialware was there to remove from the new computer? Have to download many new drivers? Was it difficult to setup networking?
4) Not enough money to buy a new PC after returning a new Mac? That didn't make very much sense to me unless the new Mac fell of the back of a truck somewhere in northern NJ . . .
5) If Unix was a draw . . . Ubuntu or other flavors of Linux is your answer.
6) Does anyone disagree that, change, even change for the better, is difficult?
