I have joined the club, went to the store and bought the iMac 24" 3.06 GHz =o), the screen is awesome, makes my "old" 21" monitor look tiny
So far I have been quite a bit disappointed by the "usability" of the Mac, I guess I had really hight expectations for it, just the fact that the first application you have up there is the "finder", tells me something is not quite there, my biggest problems so far:
- short cut keys are different
- you install some application, then is just gone, you have to find it using the finder
- right click, where the #$%&** is my right click!!! - got it, you have to "ctrl+click"
- mouse buttons (or lack of)
- window resizing, why can I only resize from the bottom right corner??
- lack of "window restore", after maximizing the window
Right now I'm downloading Vista to install it on Fusion, we'll see how everything goes after I get familiar with it
the "welcome to the family" is what they told us at the store when we bought it, will keep you updated about my

Apple and MS came up with their shortcut keys independently so this is to be expected.

I don't see how this is different to win. Thea application disappears into Start, All Program, ... on win. OSX equivalent is finder, Applications.

Yeah this is annoying, but recent mice ('mighty mouse') are actually 2 buttons really - you need to enable an option in the control panel to switch it on.
- window resizing, why can I only resize from the bottom right corner??
I am still amazed that this behaviour can't be modified out of the box.
- lack of "window restore", after maximizing the window
The whole maximise/best fit contents does seem to be broken for many applications.
I think because they are trying to be more clever about it than the windows maximise/restore concept, but it puts the burden of getting it right onto application developers.
