Just popping in to mention that I consider the trackpad on the Macbook to be the best in existence. I have yet to encounter a better built trackpad. It makes up for a lot of the eccentricities inherent to the Mac (like the wrist numbing mouse acceleration curve). And it's the trackpad that I make the most use out of. A good trackpad makes a mouse irrelevant except when plugged into a larger monitor.

It can be set to function exactly like a PC, and if you plug in any USB mouse into it, the right click with work exactly as you expect. Keyboard shortcuts require very little re-training (swap control with command).

Not sure I get the "technically inferior" comment though. Inferior to what?

Don't let the fear of something new prevent you from at least trying out OS X. The real reason not to consider switching platforms is if you already have a recent version of something like Office and don't want to buy it again.
