You can maximize windows and they run 2 button mousepads. The trick is you put both fingers on the mouse pad and click = right click. Works nifty on the MacBook.

Perilscope, perhaps you get into arguments with people because you carry that sentiment. They probably think what a merom.

I have tried both, Windows XP and Mac OS X. And honestly I can't say that Windows XP as an OS has anything that I felt was lacking in Mac OS X. On the other hand, Mac OS X had bucket loads of style and a sense that it was designed with cohesion and usability at the forefront. Not by commitee as XP.

But the real difference is the hardware. Some people cannot live without building their own pcs. The Macs suck. Some people think that the choice of motherboard and chipset is very important. You cannot do that on a mac. Heck, upgrading your graphics card can be challenge I hear. If you love buying crap taiwanese copy cat hardware, the mac is a bad place to be. There won't be drivers. So in all aspects your choices are fewer on a mac. However with Parallels I can run windows xp emulation within Mac OSX and I do not expect many programs will be an issue. As it is a notebook, hardware isn't much of a problem either.
