So far the Air has one annoying problem. Occasionally closed the lid and when I reopen it, black screen. have to hit the power button twice. Then all the programs have shut down, including works in progress. Forums have suggested it may be using an external monitor. Others, Parallels which I use was open and the program being used. That was more likely the case.
Also ever since Parallels 3 now up to 7, any changes in toolbars (such as in Excel) or getting rid of all those stupid MS sounds (this has only happened in 7) works until I close Parallels, they they revert to default. Minor pain, but still.
But it all beats owning a PC. Windows 98 got so corrupted that I had to reinstall it 10 times in one day to get it and the printer to work. Part of the problem, Windows doesn't really reformat your hard drive completely. To "help" you, some key files (about 2 MB in Win 98) don't reformat. You have to do a reformat, repartition, then spend the next 2 hours reinstalling Windows.
Never had to reinstall OS X. Can't even remember where the operating disks are.
Still have friends wanting me to reinstall XP as their system got corrupted or virused.
Figure what your time is worth, Then figure what you spend jacking with MS. To install a program, sometimes can take 1/2 hour. In OS X, most are drag new icon to Applications folder.

You're doing something wrong if it takes you a half hour to install a program
