Going from Windows to a Mac

I've been using my new Mac for a while now, and every day I learn something new. Few of them ... make me sad ... like I don't have a quick hot key combination for locking the screen (ah! the pleasure of Ctrl-Alt-Delete) ... some I just love, like how seamlessly Max OS X links all the iLife things together.

But, what I really wanted was a place where I could just start listing how my experience is of switching to a Mac. I've been a Win/Linux user for quite a few years now and with KDE imitating Windows so much, a completely new desktop system like Mac sure raises a lot of questions when you start using it. The first - What's up with this one button mouse ???? No right click ? How do I use a Mac then ? .... And then I heard Steve Jobs's voice in my mind saying ... Patience, my young apprentice.

Rather than take the pains of creating a web page, I thought I should just create this as a blog and use a free tool.
