As an aside, it would be interesting to have Mac devotees list the negative aspects of the Mac or a person who uses both the PC and Mac highlight the differences. I use both a Mac and PC, everyday, and find the single menu on the Mac antiquated (it fits the philosopy of the original Mac and has not really evolved). The Mac "toolbar" with all the apps can get really cluttered if you are a software junkie - the icons are nice, but it is hard to pick them out. I like the dialogs in Windows that allow you to resize from more than one corner.
The Mac seems to connect to networks more easily than my Windows PC where I often have to do some tweaking. Some of the apps are more elegant like the one that creates separate workspaces (but that isn't new, Xerox used the same ideas in its Room tool on Windows 3.1). I admit to liking some of the small animation touches on the Mac. Has there been a shoot-out lately using the same tool and two people trained to equal levels? There is a technique called a User Interface Race suggested by Ben Shneiderman in the early Brenda Laurel anthology from the late 1980s that might be fun.
