*shudders at massive number of alphabetically-organized icons with folders mixed in with the files instead of all being at the top of the list, where they belong (for ease of use, for functionality, for looks, for so many reasons...)*
Folder trees! Categories! ... oh right, mac owners don't have enough software available to have to worry about such problems... :D
Answers my question about 'hiding files' though, if that's actually a representation of your harddrive and not a seperate program manager folder like Windows has...
Only with newer games... as for uninstalls Windows doesn't really need them there either, because there's Add/Remove Programs in the control panel for that, but it is often easier just to click the link... though yeah, often they don't manage to get everything... but that's the programmer's faults more than anything, not Microsoft's for wanting to make Windows more complex...

Quote:Did you even look at the screenshot from my computer? Here's the one from my desktop which has even more programs than my laptop. You don't get all of those uninstall files on a Mac since parts of the program aren't hidden all over the place besides something like preferences. If you delete the program you don't have to do anything else. You do get read me files for a lot of stuff out there, but you can choose not to include those in the applications folder and I generally don't since that same information can be found in the help menu.
