If you get a Mac, get Microsoft Office for Mac.
The apple programs that will open your excel and word docs by default, aren't nearly as good and going back and forth between them is a pain.
If you're using Vista at work and your files keep getting saved as docx and xlsx, office for mac will have issues opening them as it doesn't recognize the extra x.
Easily fixed by downloading an application called Open XML Converter that will automatically make the appropriate changes so Office for Mac opens the files.
Edit: Also, USB's are the same, not issues there. If the double click mouse is a must, you can set that up on a mac now too.
