Everything is different on a Mac, the close, minimize, and maximize is on the left, compared to the right on Windows, shortcuts, etc. It does take a little while, but once you get used to it, your set.
I think its best if you know both OS. It's pretty much nothing for me to use the Mac at home, and then go right to school and use Windows. However, if theres a case when you have to use the other OS your not used to, your not totally stuck, it just takes you a little longer. This should then be a challenge for all of us...
Take the OS your not used to, and spend some quality time with it. Get used to it, give it a chance...
My dear brother, I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. I got my Dell, I turned it on, made an account, and started it up. That was not any harder than the parents Mac.

I honestly like PC better for the simple reason of the programs I need. I use engineering programs (Solid Works, Inventor, Auto Cad) which to my knowledge can not run on a Mac. Just my honest opinion.
