You know what I hate about XP?

This is going to sound petty. But I've got one sitting right next to my Mac and it's this problem that drives me nuts over all other problems and it's why I use a Mac 90% of the time:

Making a text selection.

On a Mac I get it right the first time 95% of the time and if I don't the arrow keys seem to take me where I need to put my cursor most of the time.

On the PC it seems like I never get it right on the first time. And if I try to get the cursor to go to where I need it with the arrow keys it always defaults to the wrong spot.

When you cut and paste hundreds of times a day that adds up to a lot of headache.

I also have to say there are some things I like better about the PC but I can't think of anything right off the bat.

Another huge advantage Macs have is the ability to write PDFs from almost any file or app. AND read them without opening Acrobat which is CLUMSY as all get out.

Don't think you can do either from Windows or am I wrong.
