Congrats on the move. Theres nothing like a Mac.

I've been a Mac guy since '92, took to it like a duck to water.
Over the years I've had to use a Win machine off and on for various reasons.
Thats until recently I decided to get into Forex. Unfortunately there is no native OSX trading platform worth a damn. There are Java and web versions but they suck. Metatrader is the shit for most trading the Forex market.

So I order up a Dell and have got somewhat use to it but I find myself constantly wanting blow my brains out.
Whoever designed the UI on Windows is a complete idiot.
Lets start with the simple things for example: Cut copy and paste.
On a Mac I can easily reach Command/Alt + A Command/Alt + C Command/Alt + V with my left hand

WTF on a Win machine I need my thumb on the other side of my hand to reach The Ctrl key.

Another example: select text on a mac click+drag and where you stop is the selected text on Win you have to click+drag+click

On the plus side is the right click menu which is in most Apple apps but 3rd party not so much. This could be remedied with a programmable mouse which I already have.
