I'd even never connect to the internet on windows, its a nightmare. Just compare: On windows about several thousand new viruses, worms etc every day! On Mac 1 since OS X came out (and a harmless one). e-mail: built-in Mail or Thunderbird (the latter works on any OS) browsing: built-in Safari or Firefox (never ever consider using internet explorer in any OS) personal finance: look at http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/ if it runs in emulation, or switch back to windoof. On the other hand all important databases in general run also on OS X. office, powerpoint: get Office for the Mac with lots of $$ or take the opportunity to switch to OpenOffice, which is less costly (0) and more future proof, as its open source and can read and write any of the microshuft formats... Don't worry about performance problems OS X is very god at multitasking and you wouldn't run your office suite while performing would you? In the end you can make a smooth shift, by installing bootcamp. You'll see, you'll end up using windows less and less...
