Spaces and Time Machine are new. iChat now allows screen sharing, multiple account logins, and presentations with video chat. Also allow backgrounds. Dashcode ships with it, a program to allow easy creation of widgets without programming knowledge. You can now create "smart folders" in Spotlight searches. The finder is supposed to be redone, brushed metal is gone, instead they have a smooth metal. There's some other junk in there too, a ton of little stuff. Most hasn't even been shown yet.

I've heard Microsoft can send you a new SP2 CD. Don't know the details though. I'd recommend OEM, and 32-bit, Vista has way too many problems with 64 bit. Your 64-bit OS X will run fine though. Get used to that.

Usually you can connect on your Mac, and Windows won't connect. But if you're connecting on Windows, your Mac will connect in a heartbeat. If your using 802.11n though, you'll need to purchase the activator for like $2. MBPs shipped with a 802.11n card before Apple announced they were supporting it, so they don't come with the software by default. It ships with Apple TV and Airport Base stations, or you can buy it for a buck or two. Marketing...
