I had it down in less than a week.

I cant agree more. I made the switch myself recently. I bought an old Powerbook G3 and loaded panther on it. It took me less than a week to feel comfortable with OS X. Also, something everyone overlooks is that you can buy Virtual PC for the mac and run any other OS from inside of OS X. This includes any version of windows as well as Linux. So should you need a windows laptop, roughly $130 for a copy of Virtual PC will get you running windows on a mac. Also you can use Windows Remote Desktop Sharing on the mac. I do highly recommend a two button mouse though, but holding the ctrl key and then clicking isnt nearly as big of a pain in the ass as everyone will have you beleive. Also, the more RAM you throw a powerbook, the happier it is. And hey, if for no other reason to switch, iChat rocks so much harder than plain vanilla AIM.
