bye bye windows?

[Slice]

Slice, what do you mean by a more productive and responsive system? When I need to do some work for school I mostly use my PC (2007, q9550 quadcore, 8gb ram, gtx 260) for the usual office stuff (office 2007). I kind of find it faster than doing the same stuff on my iMac (Spring 2011) using either iWork or Office for Mac 2011.
I'm not exactly sure what hardware is put in the iMac, but i suppose its a intel i7 or something, seeing as Apple sticks to intel CPUs and the i7's been out for a while now.
I find it weird that my Office 07 on my "old" gaming PC runs faster than both iWork and Office for Mac on my iMac.

I left all the settings and whatever on the iMac programs on default, should i change some of them? Cos i'd actually have more fun working on the mac if it wasnt slower than my pc, cos i like the bright design and lots of features that Pages and Keynote come with that office 07 lacks.

A couple of things that help me are:

• Neat touchpad gestures
  
• Finding windows with exposé
  
• Arranging windows into Spaces Demo - Mac OSX 10.5.2 - 2.6Ghz Macbook Pro
  
• Spring-loaded folders
  
• Seamlessly dragging stuff around
  
• Quickly opening files, folders, and apps using spotlight
  

I do, however, use some additional tools:

• BetterSnapTool to snap windows into place (yea, Windows has this!!! omg)
  
• Alfred to rapidly, among other things, start apps, search for files, search Google, control iTunes
  
• Parallels to run Windows 7 inside OS X (for Internet Explorer testing mainly)
  
• MagicPrefs to fully customize the touchpad/magic mouse gestures
