No tables turned. No converted faithful. I'm in lala land, using my
son-in-law's 15.1 inch Macbook Pro. Just in casual use, it's the
small stuff that's different. Also, no virus shields to slow things
down, which is of course a mixed blessing.
Apparently your daughter married well...

And yes there are lot's of small differences, many of which add up to
a more refined and enjoyable user experience.
The virus issue is significant; something I just don't worry about on
the Mac side of the machine. On the PC side, using Parallels, I just
avoid doing things that might compromise the XP virtual machine.
And speaking of Parallels, they just announced a new version with a
slick new feature - an app that lets you access your virtual machines
from any iOS device via the Internet. So now you can run Windows apps
remotely using a touch interface...
