Kinda works both ways. I've always had Macs but I was itching to get a netbook (for travel) after reading the thread on here. I have to say... the first few hours was rough. Between all the annoying alerts and buttons being in the wrong place, I wanted to throw the thing out the window. I still hate the OS, though I like the netbook's size.
