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.

Exactly. One reason I had an easy time getting used to a Mac was dating someone who had one, so I wasn't learning completely on my own - I had help.
That was nine years ago - and I have troubles with PCs these days. Especially if it's an OS I've hardly ever used, like Vista or 7. There ARE a few different ways to do things on Macs, you just have to learn them.
