I've only been using my Macbook Pro for about a week, and I haven't seen a need to even boot up my PC during that time.
It's taking me a while to get used to it, but there are some good tutorials for PC-to-Mac switchers at apple.com/support. I've found those helpful. Took me a while to figure out what to do instead of ctrl-c, ctrl-v.
So far I really like it. It's a lot more responsive than Vista ever was, and I haven't had a single crash. I especially like how fast it boots up and shuts down -- faster than I've seen with any version of Windows.
Since most of my work involves using web apps, I don't need to use a lot of native software, so it's not a terribly difficult switch. For FTP I've been using Transit, and for HTML editing, Coda is pretty nice.
I also like how iCal integrates with my Google Calendar, and Mail integrates with my GMail account.
I have my Macbook connected to a 24" Apple display when I don't need mobility, and I'm able to use my wireless keyboard and mouse from my PC.
