I think that Apple has really gone out on limb by releasing OS X. They have really taken a chance that is forcing a lot of people to turn their heads and take a look at something no one has ever seen on a computer before. This is a very different operating system that I think will take a little time to get used too. Especially for all of us who have been using macs for a long time and have gotten used to its neverending new release yet same look OS's. I myself love it yet still find myself searching for things that were in their OS 9 position. Someone new to Macs shouldn't have much trouble getting aquainted for they wouldn't have to re-think the way they were used to doing things. Even if you were used to using windows the Mac dock is pretty similar to how window's dock is. Actually I have friends that were windows junkies and are now seriously considering a Mac. Heh, heh, heh...And then there is the Unix core for the programmers which I am currently trying to teach myself and am actually very excited about it! I think all in all Apple has done something that will push them ahead of the crowd. Long Live the MAC!

  I'm going through the same thing ... rolling along in Mac OS X then want to do something that I've done a 100 times in earlier OSs only to get lost. One thing that has helped me is the Mac OS X page on the Apple web site, See Mac OS X in Action. I finally sat down with a big mug of coffee and went through each of the short tutorials. It helped a lot ...
