Windows seems more flexible in that their are multiple ways to do every task.
So my opinion of the Mac is that they are beautiful hardware. The keyboard and buttonless mouse are amazing but the software always seem to frusterate me. Now it might be just be that I am coming from a windows background. The one that bugs me most is that they don't use Ctrl+C for copy and paste. Is their any setting that can enable the control key as well as the apple key?

What tasks are you having problems with that Windows feels more flexible at? Maybe we can suggest alternative approaches.
Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, etc - if you go into System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Modifier keys, you can swap the functionality of the Ctrl and Command keys, no problem.
I don’t recommend doing that though, because then your Mac will behave differently from every other Mac you encounter.
You will get used to it the stock way, and your hands with switch modes automatically depending on what kind of machine you sit down in front of - I have to switch back and forth dozens of times a day, and its rare that I hit Win+C when I want Ctrl+C on a Windows box.
