3) Panic ! Use Bootcamp to install Win 7, and think... Well, it 'Looks nice'
4) Play about with os x and realize... Hey, this is actually pretty cool...
5) Discover mac apps, that do exactly the same things as windows programs - But just in a 'Different Way'
6) realize that stepping back - that 'Different way' often makes for less work than windows...
7) Realize that after about 4 months, you have not rebooted your mac once, nor even LOOKED at the win 7 you installed...
8) Relax, and fully understand the great decision that you made !
Enjoy your hassel free / virus free / constant update free, mac experience !

I do think that people do take this Mac thing way too serious. I like and use Mac products, but I really do think that Mac people can be a bit nuts. You can really see it 1st hand at the Mac store.
Mac people can be best described as a 10 year over zealous 12 stepper going to AA meetings 3 times a week and telling everyone who has one or two drinks a year that they too are alcoholics and need to come to AA to control their addictions.
