Has anyone here made the transition from PC to Mac? Is it easy to adapt from one system to the other or is it more hassle than it's worth?

Making the transition at the moment - seems fairly simple so far (moving my iTunes library across was a bit of a mission, but that's done now).
Once you get over things like command vs control etc, it seems pretty good plus there's loads of help on the apple site to help you.
I will say that from opening the box to finishing set up was about 10 minutes - it really is well designed! (and most of that time was removing plastic packaging)

Ive just ordered an iMac, near enough £2k 
Is it worth it?
Also changed my Blackberry for an iPhone recently and that was most deffinately worth the premium!

I started with a Mid 2009 15" MBP, which has then followed suit with an iPhone 4 (32GB) i keep looking at iPad 2's but not sure i can justify one being honest...

Yep i did.
I got an iPhone 3G, and i was addicted to Macs from that...
Then i switched to an MBP from my Vista laptop..
Macs just make sense.... Thats the best i can say.
Everything is SO much simpler.
The best rated OS fro windows is Win7.. What OS is that primarily based around? OSX... The way everything is stacked and not long bas clogging up the task bar.
Not that simple in the way of short cuts and hot keys, but when you get to grips with it its all much much easier.

Supposed to be a paupers 8gb version and a teardrop model as far as I understand.
Also, iOS 5 is being released then too.

Took delivery of my new mac today, its simple enough really, just abit diffrent with all the shortcuts and what not, as others have said. You could always do what I did and just bootcamp it and use it primarly as a fancy windows system
At least I can seem "trendy" and "cool" now...........

Yep there's an announcement about iPhone on 4th October - current rumours are a cut-down, cheaper iPhone 4 (to be called the iPhone 4S) and a new design iPhone 5. Or maybe one or the other, nobody is really sure. Personally I think Apple will introduce both, they need something less expensive to tackle the emerging markets (e.g. China) and at the same time the iPhone needs an update to keep it ahead of the pack.
Should be a fairly short delay before you can buy it, a couple of weeks perhaps. And iOS 5 will be launched at about the same time. Cool :-)
I will, of course, pretend to be cool and non-committal about buying the new phone... and then I'll be queuing at the Apple store for hours on launch day like every time before!

Been using my MacBook Pro for about 4 weeks now and love it to bits! Found the change from Windows to Mac very easy too.
Also, will be ordering my iPhone 4 tomorrow
Not bothering with the S

All I have to get now is the iPad to complete the set.
