I have been using my MacBook for almost two months now and feel quite comfortable with it. I have been using it exclusively at home working and experimenting with Java web applications that are running on my Linux servers. All I can say is that if you are looking for the next thing and are not tied to Windows then Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger is it based on my experience.
The Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger user-interface is very intuitive and the Finder, Dashboard features are exactly what I was looking for in a next generation GUI. OpenOffice.org, Eclipse, and all my other tools for Java development work as advertised on Mac OS X. The next release Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) has even more features that take it to the next level.
For Java development, I can now say that Mac OS X is a really good solution. Much better than Windows primarily because of the underlying Unix foundations. If you are administering Linux servers and need an extremely consistent GUI, the Mac OS X is it. Your mileage may vary as I always like to say.
I created a new blog, The Mac Katana, devoted to my experiences on the Mac. Check it out if are interested.
I wish everyone good luck happiness and joy in this new year, 2007!
