"The Dock in Mac OS X is unique in comparison to the user interface of Windows, most Linux distros that emulate the Windows desktop, and previous versions of the Classic Mac OS. Apple has significantly updated the Dock in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Here's a look at what's new and different in our 3-page report."

I like the gnome+compiz way of doing things, because its a marriage of the two. The ease of access of the start menu and taskbar, and the power of expose (scale). I like the dock in Leopard, when I first saw it I thought about Looking Glass too. Didn't LG have a rudimentary implementation of stacks too. I haven't really used it but i thought I had seen something about that once.

Welcome to 2007 Mac OSX has done right clicking for years and so have mac users, the old mac users not grasping right clicking is incredibly old now.
As for the mighty mouse, i have used it since it was released and it has worked fine.
As for advice on buying a new mac, to tell you the truth when a user buys a new computer mac or pc they come bundled with a bog standard mouse which most users will replace with their frav.
As for the dock, ive found it more productive than the start menu. I don't have it cluttered just the apps i use the most. The rest i access through spotlight anyway. Like the active app displaying a black triangle, im not sure about the leopard dock until ive used it for a couple of months.
My background was that ive used windows (and still do) since 2.0, the start menu was a good idea but i found it gets cluttered to easily. the dock + expose + spotlight to me offers a better method of application management. I brought my first mac in 2005 and found i prefered the method more than the start menu. However when i say prefer i don't mean i hate it and can't work with windows, it's just that i work faster the mac way.
