I was probably the last person I'd every thought would switch to a Mac. I've been a windows developer since 1994. In my current company I'm in a leadership position and half of the company uses Macs (designer, UX people) so when it came time for me to get a machine I abused my authority a little and got a loaded MacBook Pro. This is the most amazing machine I've ever owned. OSX Lion was a great place for me to jump into Mac as I had no problems getting used to the gestures. I use the newest Parallels to run windows which is amazing since I can have a Visual Studio window floating around along side my Mac windows. I think Lion is more productive for business than 7, and Windows 8 looks like a UI nightmare.

Not sure if this has been pointed out yet, but Parallels (latest version) does not run under Mountain Lion. I had to boot camp into my windows partition to get some work done and now I hate life. Has anyone gotten VMWare Fusion to work in Mountain Lion?

While I agree in principle, my work is development so I did need to install the developer preview on that particular machine... That said, I'd still like to run VMs on that particular machine if possible to see how a few things perform / work together.

Can someone recommend a good book for learning Lion? I'm hardcore and have been doing windows dev for 20 years and I want to learn the internals of how lion works.

Thanks for the suggestions. Those are exactly the kinds of books I'm looking for. I really want to get into the guts of osx and find out how it works... How to break it and how to put it back together.

I am so sick of Outlook 2011. I really like Sparrow for mail, but I can't scheduling meetings which is a deal killer for me. Are there any alternative exchange clients that support shared calendars and scheduling that doesn't suck?

I really want to kick Outlook 2011 to the curb, but the problem is that I need the ability to send meeting requests. Is there a replacement, something like sparrow or mail.app, that would support the ability to schedule meetings and view availability like Outlook? We use Office365 for email and calendars.
