Well, sort of....

The thing is, Apple did such a good job with the migration utility  
that my interface is exactly the same as on my old machine. I don't  
get the "opportunity," therefore, of looking in the glove- 
compartment, trying knobs, adjusting the seat and so on because it is  
EXACTLY like my old computer--even to the desktop background picture!  
And since I had already bumped my old machine up to Tiger, the thrill  
of Dashboard and Spotlight have both worn off. It is, of course,  
faster, but I haven't had a chance to fire up PhotoShop yet and see  
just how fast, fast is. I'm sure the first time I open a camera RAW  
file and apply a tweak, I'll gasp with pleasure. But that moment has  
yet to come.

Bottom line: You gotta love a company that includes such a good  
migration utility in its OS.
