Kent,
You do need to allocate more memory (128MB) to run MX on the Mac to
avoid crashing, but other than that it was a smooth transition.
There are many new features. For example, I like the new interface,
the ability to define a production and test server in the same site
definition, the many more options with templates (nested templates,
repeating regions etc.).
