Microsoft can eat my fat cock

I was wrong about the Apple-click anyway, it's control-click. Either way, you are right that it isn't a substitute for right-clicking on the mouse, but it still functions the same as on a PC. What is missing from the right-click menus on a Mac that you can do on a PC?

That thing at the bottom, right? Good like the windows quicklaunch taskbar, for a few programs you use often, but is it a true program access manager? No, that's just for quick access, not for something that acts as a program manager... unless it's got the ability to become an unfolding folder tree like the Start menu?

"links to folders" says it all. MacOS still has no good program manager... it'd be like if Windows had no effective Programs folder in the Start menu and you were expected to open your programs in Windows Explorer (you know, what you get when you run My Computer...)... ridiculous...

Again, the Dock is fully-customizable. Most computers you will find in a public lab won't have a customized Dock so you will just find the default icons. You can put anything in the Dock so putting the applications and documents folder in it makes it function just like the Windows Start menu. All of the applications on a Mac are stored in a single applications folder so you don't have to hunt around for things if that folder is in the Dock. It definitely has the ability to become an unfolding folder tree. See the attached screenshot from my computer...
