There are multiple applications for both Mac OS X and Windows that securely store passwords, serial numbers, and other important sensitive data. I suppose paper would work too, but it is easier to lose a pice of paper, and paper is not encrypted.

OS X:
Keychain come with the OS.
Yojimbo stores all sorts of info.

Windows:
(I am not a windows user but here are a few anyway)

Tech Tip: Router Settings Cheat Sheet

6/14/07 7:17 AM

As a technology professional that has used Windows, Unix, Linux, and Mac OS extensively I personally lean toward Mac OS. The reason, it does not get in the way of my work. I am more productive because the OS itself is more a supporting role than the main character.

Switching will cause some growing pains and it will take a while for you to feel fully comfortable, but when you do, you will wonder why you ever used Windows.

In response to the other posters:

* Games or software availability? Macs are now Intel based, they will easily run both Windows and Mac OS.
* Viruses. As a 17 year Mac user, never once had a virus. It is highly unlikely you will ever get a virus on your Mac. The reason is simple, why create a virus for Mac (6% market share) when you can affect a whole lot more people with your virus if you create it for Windows.
* The Switcher. Take this persona advice to heart, it is entirely accurate for the majority of switchers out there.
