The thing is people are so used to Windows it's "programmed" into them.. for a large # of people knowing how to use a computer actually means knowing how to use Windows.. so when there's no Start -> Programs or Control Panel or whatever they're lost.

I found the same thing to start out with, just didn't know where anything was or the basic things of the OS.. when you install where does it go, how do I find the IP, that sort of thing.

OSX is great, but it is a whole different OS so there's still a learning curve that's going to be higher going from Windows -> OSX than Windows -> Some other version of Windows.
