The only thing I wouldn’t like is that different applications can have different commands and it gets REALLY frustrating. Thanks for the list though. I never knew what the screenshot command was in Mac!

Charity – The main app I’m going to miss from the PC is actually Picassa. I know all the die-hard mac fans are going to say Picassa is a clone of iPhoto, but I’ve used both and Picassa is much better IMO. Plus I have so many photos and they’re all meticulously organised that I don’t want to give up Picassa. hence I will be partitioning my drive and installing XP just to run Picassa!

@Kevin – yeah not sure what happened there. Every once in a while a comment shows up without any content. I’m sure it has something to do with links, but I have no idea how to fix it. Changing the amount of links allowed per comment seems to have no affect. I only had two links in the comment this time (max is three), but when I took them out it showed up fine. Grr. I don’t get it. :(

I’m totally gonna try out CSS Edit on your recommendation once I get settled in a little more with the new system. Can’t wait to try it out!

Missing comment there. :P

I agree with the Quicksilver comment, it’s a must-have. It’s like Spotlight, but better and faster.

Mac is very nice, and as I said many times, it speeds up my workflow a lot (thanks to CSSEdit 2 ^_^), but I still can’t manage to cut and paste a file. -_-

LOL thanks Aaron! I actually haven’t used Bootcamp yet, or tried to boot Windows from the Mac by any other means. I’m hearing all over the place that VMware Fusion is the way to go over Parallels, but I can’t speak from experience. Are you planning to run Windows on your Mac then?

I’m curious about which apps you want to hang on to. Myself – I’ll really miss Picasa, but I think I can live without it considering iPhoto is so cool. I’m finding it a little tough to convert from Thunderbird to Mail, but it’s still available for Mac so I take comfort knowing I can switch back any time. ;) I can’t think of anything else that has really affected me in terms of switching. All my faves (PS, DW, FF, Open Office, even Yahoo Messenger have Mac versions so I’m set!

What’s more exciting to me is trying out software that has been previously unavailable being on Windows, like CSS Edit. Woohoo! :D

I’m beginning to really love your posts… only 8 days to go !!! ;)

I’d love to read a lowdown on your experiences with BootCamp and getting Windows to run on a mac – from the perspective of a convert. There’s one or two PC-only apps that I don’t think I’m going to be able to say goodbye to.

When the site is backup you might find this Quicksilver Tutorials Round-up link handy. Quicksilver is the first thing I install on my friends macs. You'll love it.

@Ian – I keep hearing about Quicksilver but I still don’t exactly know what it is. The site has been down all week so I haven’t been able to check it out yet. :(

@Lauren – I find myself using delete (or backspace on Windows) a LOT when browsing, and f5 when testing. If only I had a dollar for every time I used that indispensable shortcut!

This is a great list, Charity! Thanks for the mention, too :) I didn’t know about most of those FF shortcuts. The only one I use all the time is Ctrl + T for the new tab.

I can’t live without these:

capture a screen shot to clipboard (entire screen) ctrl + cmd + shift + 3
select a specific area to screen capture to clipboard ctrl + cmd + shift + 4

And of course, Quicksilver is life-changing.
