Give it a little time, the 'full screen' deal on a PC will annoy you and you'll wish you were working on your Mac. I work PC by and Mac by night. I hate to admit that those insipid Mac vs PC ads are right but they are. At some point you're going to realize that a work flow not all covered up by one app is really handy. Since I do some freelance graphic design, the work flow is soooo much better and I can just jump between Illustrator and Photoshop with greater ease. No waiting for the app I switched too's screen to render. Granted, I have a 24" screen so having the large real estate is certainly handy with multi apps.

Also, if you have programs that only work on PC and have the disc as well as a registered copy of a Windows OS (XP and up), you can get a program called Parallels that allows you to run the PC OS too. While Macs can do that in Bootcamp mode, Parallels allow you to run XP at the same time and open apps from the PC as if they were in OSX. So, if you think you need to re-buy some stuff, it's worth considering. Parallels only costs $100 and really works very well.

So, a few more things :)
