As someone who recently switched from Windows to Mac, the only software I really miss on my Mac are Word and Excel -- the Mac Office 08 versions are vastly inferior to the Window Office 07 versions, imho. I had thought I would miss a lot more, though. So when I first switched I bought Parallels and installed XP. For awhile I was running XP with FeedDemon (NetNewsWire has some annoying features I couldn't figure out how to turn off), Digsby, and a few other Windows-only apps I thought I couldn't find Mac replacements for. Eventually, though, I found replacements for everything (save Word and Excel). Plus, I can now use TextMate, which has made my like a lot easier. I still own XP and Vista machines and use them fairly regularly as well. But my main computer has become by MacBook. I made out a list last month of all the things I love and hate about the Mac after a couple of months using it.
