Macs and PCs are just different. Not just at the operating system level, but even at the hardware side as well. I've always felt Apple hardware is a superior design in computer technology but its lack of forward delete on its notebooks has been one con to using a Mac. Now, if you have a full-sized keyboard, you can use the forward delete above the cursor keys (it has an X inside a forward arrow on it) but us MacBook, MacBook Pro, iBook, and PowerBook users don't have such a key. Thankfully there are many keyboard mapping applications out there to assist in this problem.
