I've looked at the new OS from Apple, and I just don't see how it's easier than Windows. I can't make a window full-screen, and I have no right-click button. What's up with that?

I know less about Mac OS than Windows- how it stores files, etc. I've never needed to know, which means I've never had to fix it. Uninstalling a program just involves dragging it to the recycling bin- there's no third-party uninstall program to accidentally delete itself and then say "This program cannot be uninstalled because the file xxxxx.exe is missing."
Windows was pretty quick and stable for my computer until I put it online. I used to be an occasional gamer, and it crashed about once a year. Since it went online 2 years ago, it needed a reformat about once a year. When it needed it again after a month, I swore off Windows. I'll take having to ctrl+click over that anyday.
We used to have downtime about once a month on our home network with PCs. Some setting would change itself, and nobody would be able to go online. My brother bought a Mini and we bought my mother a new iMac, so the whole network is Mac. They literally set themselves up on the kitchen table.
