It's nice to see something different for a change. I am a tech enthusiast who use both mac and pc for different use and always felt that most tech enthusiast community dismiss the entirety of Apple products without much consideration just because they are Apple products. I don't think I have to worry about Linus being fair in regards to Apple products, but I hope you approach this switch with an open mind and acknowledge that hurdles that come with switching from Windows to OS X aren't necessarily a weakness to mac itself. EdgeVenison's post(#64) has a great list of applications you should check out.
