The WOW Really Starts Now

You may have heard of the Microsoft Vista marketing campaign by now with the slogan of 'The WOW Starts Now' and I have to agree the WOW really does start now, I just bought my first Apple MAC and all I've been saying so far is WOW WOW WOW.
Having used Windows nearly all my computing career this is the first time I've had any exposure to the Mac operating system and I have to say that so far I am impressed at how wonderfully fast and easy Macs are. Installing software is simple, just drag it to the apps folder and bingo it's installed, uninstalling is just as simple, just drag the app to the trashcan and the system works it's wonders.
The included iLife software is outstanding and I can't wait to dig into them some more. All the software that I'd normally spend a day or so installing on my windows machine only took about 2 hors to install on the mac and really the only thing I'm missing is the Notes Designer client but that's no problem with Parallels Desktop, especially in coherence mode where it can mix your windows app windows on top of the mac os desktop. Notes Designer is the only thing i'm going to run on the VM partition ( until IBM comes out with a Mac Notes Designer client ) , everything else I'm going to use the native mac apps for, including this blog entry which I'm writing in the Notes 7.0.2 Mac client.
I've made the switch... Who's next...
