Sorry to see yo going to the dark side. I think you will figure it out faster than you think. You will get your basic path figured out and then explore the wilderness as you have time and patience. If you get really frustrated you will turn it off and go explore the real wilderness which may be the best reason to make the switch. I use both and I am one of those rare people that prefers the windows environment. Most of my friends use Mac but I don't choose friends based on their good taste in computers. Ten years ago Mac was much better especially for image editing, I can't say that anymore. Both systems are pretty intuitive although the Mac crowd would argue that forever. One warning if you look for things like hotels and other shopping items the search engine knows if you are Mac or windows/android. If you are Mac it presents more expensive options. I think the logic is if you fell for a computer that cost 30% more they can sell you a hotel room for 30% more. Actually the reality is the Mac crowd is the smaller segment but also the more affluent segment and they exploit that. Good luck, I am going to get off this computer and go enjoy some snow.
