The Anti-Microsoft Thread

[A Black Falcon]

This is what everyone says. I hate Macs, but I haven't used them in years. Do you think OS X is exactly like what you used on Macs years ago? And just because Macs come with one-button mice doesn't mean you're confined to them. Does everybody keep the mouse that comes with their computer? I currently have a 6-button Kensignton mouse with a scroll wheel. I installed it by plugging it into the USB port on my keyboard and it worked. I can right-click just like on a PC.

As for no effective way of finding programs, that is what I'm talking about with customization. I put my Applications folder in the Dock so I always have instant access to all of my applications. Same with my documents. I've included a picture of this setup since you haven't seen how the Dock works before. It's a pdf file zipped up since taking screenshots results in pdfs on my computer and I don't have Photoshop on this one to make it a jpeg.

On the surface that looks very similar to older MacOS, just with that sidebar on the left... and the list of applications there just looks like a alphabetized list. But I'm someone who likes to organize stuff into many different folders by category. And I like all the things of one type together... that list of yours there looks just like I think of a MacOS "windows manager" -- a list. Though it looks like you could do folders if you wanted... uh, I guess its acutally a folder on the HDD that you can manage or something like the Start Menu?

Oh, here's another TabWorks image.


... or do I just organize this stuff more than most people? :)

I do it with my Internet Bookmarks too...
