Apple MacBook Pro Questions

Hello,

I use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop CC on a PC now. I plan on purchasing a MacBook Pro laptop soon and I have never used a Mac before. So my question is if I create an Illustrator (AI) and Photoshiop (PSD) file on a Mac will I be able to modify that same file (AI and PSD) that I created on a Mac on a PC and visa versa?

If you are used to using a pc, I would think it through about mac.  I have both a macbook pro and imac because I needed a new computer when vista came out and I made the switch.  It was a little frustrating at first. I really like my mac's.  But if I had to buy something new today (and I am close), I like windows 7 and probably whatever windows8 (beyond the start screen).  You can get a very nice laptop that runs windows for half the price of a mac.  While the mac's are good machines and I have never had a laptop/computer still run after 4 or 5 years, in that time I could have purchased 2 windows based pc's.      

You can run the same software on both pc/mac or at least there are versions like adobe.  If you are an excel fan, you loose all of your keyboard shortcuts.  

I like windows/mac equally.  But for the price, I may lean back to windows.  There are great arguments about what is inside the mac. But unless you are a professional video editor, you are not going to see much difference.
