Case in point today, I burn data discs with the Mac OS (via Finder) but I don't like how it then verifies the disc after burning (I don't think you can toggle it off). Each burn takes twice as long. A quick Google search for disc burn programs, I found this: http://www.discoapp.com/ Downloaded the demo, completely elegant great program with lots of features for a discounted $20. And the program "smokes" when it burns! Paypal purchase ensued immediately after a test burn. I find a lot of programs like this for Mac..nicely designed...professional web page with feature description...and always a demo I can try. Yes Steve Jobs is cool..but he's got a lot of great people dedicated to creating some great software.

When I started my new job I requested a Macbook and then had Parallels installed. I have no concept of Fusion's performance, but Parallels is pretty decent. I have 2 monitors for my office - 1 runs Mac and the other runs Parallels. I have 2 computers in 1 and my Parallels side runs Windows better than when I was on a PC. Gotta love that Steve Jobs... (the real one that is...well, Fake Steve Jobs is cool, too I guess...) I went Mac about a year ago and will never look back.
