And you shouldn't have any problem with the VPN under OS X.

OS X all the way baby!
Yes, I shouldn't have a problem with VPN except that my client does not support Macs. We are required to install some Nortel VPN software that isn't available for Macs. Also, I don't imagine my clients being too thrilled about me asking them to use Omnigraffle and dump their Visio documents. Oh and yeah, syncing my wife's Blackberry and Exchange server won't be fun on a Mac.

As for Quicken/Money, I can possibly make the switch but only after this financial year.

Basically, I'm ready to switch to a Mac but can't possibly walk away from Windows altogether. As more software becomes available for Macs over time, I suppose I can dump Windows completely.
