You pay a lot, but you get some amazing tools for free:

- iCal - great way to organize, free
- TextEdit - a simple editor that works really really well on all kinds of documents (even .doc!), free
- Preview - A great little media viewer (pdf, jpg, etc) that has just enough features (zoom, crop, rotate) to be really useful, free
- iTunes - it speaks for itself.
- AddressBook - Store your contacts, completely integrated with other apps (Mail, Safari, etc)
- Mail - my god, its free and it works too!
- iPhoto - no drivers needed, ever. Works with every camera out there
- Sherlock - the best and fastest way to find movies, phone numbers, flight information, all free.
- Finder - the files and folders and applications are stuctured so well and so discretely that you forget about all the .dll's and .vxw's and the effing C: and A: drives and wonder how anyone could ever think it was a good idea to ever have any of that stuff to begin with.
- SystemPreferences - make as many changes as you like to every part of the system and never reboot, not even once. The instructions _actually_make_sense_!!!

I have to say, these are the little things that I've come to depend on as a computer user and my life gets really complicated when I don't have them around. Its amazing what you have to go to on a fresh windows install just to view a Jpeg, much less convert it to pdf, or set your network address, or try to get pictures off a digital camera.

Im atleast %200 more productive on a Mac because of these things and I pray I never have to go back. You PC guys don't know what you're missing...

Great list, but you forgot my favorite;

iMovie Incredible intuitive, simple and powerful video editing software. Truly elegant design. Free.
