it is intrisically much easier for those with little or no knowledge of computing to use... and very satisfying for those with advanced knowledge.

i get many older people with very little computer knowledge thru my doors and those that switch to mac rarely come back in as they seem to be able to get their head around the basics way easier than they can on a windows or *nix machine.

two simple bits of software keep your mac free of unwanted things, onyx and a must have for those with windows friends, clamxav.

as for the argument about software availability, "generally" speaking just about any type of software you can get for a pc you can get for a mac, there just isnt 5976 versions of the same thing available.

I was at a conference a couple of months ago and the speaker needed some help with setting up their presentation. They were using Mac OS so I gave them a hand. When I went to gesture with the track pad I found a PC laptop. Weird :?

Anyway, I will leave it to the early adopters to iron out the bugs before I commit a production machine to it. Looks interesting though.
