Same here. Then I discovered Windows 7 and switched back to PC.
That seems unusual. My experience with Windows 7 is that it's simply a repackaged Vista with an OS X dock.

Well, TBH, Win7 is really Vista SP4.
Not by a mile. Windows 7 literally beats Vista to death -- it's a lot snappier and (to me, anyway) a lot more stable. Let's not forget that it actually runs in 512 MB of RAM, and I can attest to this. I'm an OS X guy by trade and employment, but Windows 7 I can actually tolerate (which blows my mind, really).

You're 50/50 there. My Apple mouse and trackpad both support secondary click, and the app store can be easily put directly into the trash.
And tertiary, and 4-finger, and pinch to zoom, and that rotation gesture, and...
