i just got mine but the thing that is sooo endearing about it ...besides the incredible sound that comes out of those miniscule laptop speakers... is the adorable way a password window will vibrate when you put something in wrong... like an impatient fast little head shake i love it!
the whole thing is just so..... pristine!and it makes me smile!

I just ordered a MacBook (literally a couple of hours ago) to replace my Mac Mini. I personally find the way windows minimise into the dock very pleasant . They kind of melt down like hot wax.

Did you ever try holding down the "shift" key when you shrink the window?

I like the way Mac OS looks and the fact that it just works
Oh and the oozing works the other way too.

hold down the shift key when you press f12 (dashboard) or f9, f10, f11 (exposé) too - not as nifty, but still

I like mine 'cos it keeps the rain off. 
At the moment my main machine is a SUSE Linux box running the "Beryl" front-end, so I have the "cube" thing going for me all the time.
