Getting to know my new Mac

Nowadays I am getting to know my new mac better. I got office 2008 from macmall.com, but was pleasantly surprised to see that the mac could open word documents even without anything installed on it.

I like the default email client. I think it works on IMAP way better than any windows client including outlook express or even ms outlook itself. In fact it is my observation that ms office 2007 significantly slows down a computer.

I am not sure what the reason for this is. Why is the mac more performant than a better configured PC?

On the other hand, I do have some peeves like no right click button on the air (what were they thinking?) and the difficulty to get a window to go full screen (maybe there is an easier way than dragging the mouse).

Windows does not have anything like spaces & my biggest complaint with it is that it has not changed much since windows 95 in a fundamental manner. They should do something so that for different classes of users they can provide drastically different stuff.

Windows is boring...
