<p>I personally prefer windows to Mac Os X (and I use both frequently). However, I like to tinker around with my computer so for some people macs are better. To each his own. With regards to the transition, a transition to mac os x should be quick and painless, as long as you give yourself a couple days to play around with your new laptop. Try uploading your photos, music, etc. and you’ll have gotten the hang of it in no time.</p>
