Nor did I with XP for that matter. Solid, stable, reliable and fast. Sure, download shareware junk and those handy utilities and watch it slow to a crawl.
Keep it clean and mean and it performs. Of course, there is a learning curve and some effort required, but isn't that true of everything?
Don't forget, the Mac is still a computer, there's nothing magical about it. You pay a premium, but supposedly get a set and forget interface that has a strong appeal for many people.
I use too much industrial and commercial programs that I need to support machine control systems, all run on XP and maybe Win7, going to a Mac just isn't an option.
