I am a new user of Mac after many years of Windows my question is What am I doing wrong:

I am busy working when the rainbow wheel comes up as would the spinning mouse on windows, I then have to wait for the rainbow to disappear ie the program to catch up before I can continue. It is brand new machine and shouldnt yet be bogged down.
I have to say at this point in time I am not sure that I have made the right move.
I have installed Mac Office as that is what I have used for many years, so firstly I thought there was a confliction with mail and Outlook as window users know that has been an issue with windows in the passed so I have uninstalled Outlook so as not to duplicate. I have cleaned the calender and contact with downloaded  Mac Apps. I am now at a loss what to do next because this isnt a spedy machine. Its a 2.9 HGz Quad core i5 so no light weight my old Dell is a Quad and still has enough speed to keep up with me and is 4 years old. So y only thought left there must be another confliction. Please advise as I am not completly in the know as I would have been with the Windows

As to any conflict between 2 different program that do the same thing and are installed on the same computer at the same time there simply isn't any unless both programs are running at the same time and trying to access the same file at the same time. That is except for AV software that runs all the time.
So having MS Office Outlook installed and Mac "Mac Mail" there shouldn't be any conflict at all. Even if you were to run them at the same time. They are both just Mail and contact programs, in the case of Outlook. They would both just go out to your Email account servers and download the available mail on those servers. One doesn't interact with the other. They just interact with your email account servers, which may cause a conflict on the server but not on the computer.
On my Windows computers I have 2 CAD programs installed, Autocad and Visual Cadd, and run them both at the same time. No conflicts between them as long as I have different CAD drawings open in each. If I try to open the same drawing in each program the program will popup a warning that the files is in use by another program and it willl be opened for Viewing Only or not opened it at all.
