OK Mac fans, here's your chance

Retirement is in my sights. I have two tax deductible laptops left in me. I am fed up with Windows XP and its clunky file management system, and I am happy to take the word of all the Mac nerds that their system really is much more, well, whatever. User-friendly for want of a better word. I'm toying with the idea, as I have been for some time, of changing to Apple. Software compatibility is the main issue I suppose, but also network compatibility with my Dell desktops.

Are all the problems solved these days? Can someone with thousands of word.doc files tracing back to the days of DOS transfer seamlessly to the world of Apple? Is there really a justification for paying, let's face it, almost twice the price of a similarly equipped Windows machine, or is it a fashion statement?

Can somebody please direct me to the best site for answering all the questions that a long term Windows user would have in relation to switching?
