OS X is not bad. I´m a wintel guy myself. I have been running OS X for about a month.
My job is supporting Windows based networks, so it was a challenge for me to see if I could use a Mac.
In fact it does the job just fine. Microsoft´s RDP client for OS X is OK, but I prefer CoRD.
As for VPN, I´m running Cisco´s VPN client for Mac OS X. Works like a charm.
My experience so far tells me that I can do fine without MS products, which is OK to know.
I´m still not a convert though, but I´m impressed.
