Is it worth switching to a Mac?
catone: As someone who recently switched from Windows to Mac, the only software I really miss on my Mac are Word and Excel -- the Mac Office 08 versions are vastly inferior to the Window Office 07 versions, imho.I had thought I would miss a lot more, though.  So when I first switched I bought Parallels and installed XP.  For awhile I was running XP with FeedDemon (NetNewsWire has some annoying features I couldn't figure out how to turn off), Digsby, and a few other Windows-only apps I thought I couldn't find Mac replacements for.  Eventually, though, I found replacements for everything (save Word and Excel).Plus, I can now use TextMate, which has made my like a lot easier.I still own XP and Vista machines and use them fairly regularly as well.  But my main computer has become by MacBook.I made out a list last month of all the things I love and hate about the Mac after a couple of months using it.
