I am ready to pack it up and take it back. That was a freaking lot of money to not get a computer that would handle my pretty basic needs.

All I need is email, internet, and basic graphic editing. And this piece of junk can’t do it without crashing or locking up. And on top of that things I could do one handed on my PC takes two hands because a darn right click just isn’t possible - nooooo, we have to have key combinations.

I hate this thing.

An app should just open up and fill teh desktop. Period.

OSX sucks with dual monitors. The menu bar stays on one screen.

I’ve gotten the spinning wheel of death so many times it’s not funny. You can’t even kill it. At least in XP, if something goes wrong I can kill it with task manager. XP is smart enough to know something is wrong. OSX just spins and spins and spins.

unfortunately windoze may sometimes be only slightly worse — but that’s no excuse for the piss poor mac os x performance issues and the LIES AND AVOIDANCE lazy-ass coding by apple and refusal (inability) to fix the problems that have been around for at least 5 years

There are a number of areas I find in which the Mac impedes efficiency:

• Being able to stretch a window from more than just the bottom right corner.

• Right/Control clicking in a folder or desktop and having a list of options (such as create new text document, unzip, etc, etc)

• Cascading “Start Menu”, frankly, I use WAYYY more apps than OSX’s feeble “dock” can intelligently support. Apple knows this, as screen shots of the new Leopard or what not seem to reveal a cascade menu system addition to the dock. So I guess I just need to wait for the next version to remedy this issue.

• Show Desktop/Minimize All (in other words, move the windows out of the way, and keep them that way). Yes, I know there is the whole expose. But I find it sadly annoying. It’s nice to rapidly clear my screen and see my desktop. But it’s annoying because it allows me only one action. So as soon as I click or do something everything swoops back in. Well, my main use for “show desktop” is usually to utilize two apps/folders/files/etc. Expose does not facilitate this. It’s an all or nothing.

• Clicking app instance in taskbar/dock bar to open window, re-clicking minimizes window. This is one of the most useful features in Windows. I really wish Mac utilized a similar behavior.

• Highlighting and dragging, very useful. BOY DO I MISS THIS FEATURE. Highlight text and drag to new location. Talk about an efficient time saver. Pretty non-existent on Mac.

• File Explorer URL, so as to be able to easily copy/paste/send a location of a file. Yeah, can I please see the path to where I am in the file explorer. I love being able to grab the path, paste it elsewhere and be at the folder.

• Up folder button in the file explorer. THIS IS THE #1 ANNOYING THING ABOUT OSX TO ME. It drives me crazy. Look, I know the file I want is one folder up. Can you please let me simply go there. And yes there is the side slide panelling view. Sadly, it doesn’t let me adjust the window. It’d be great if the right most panel could be adjusted in size so I could READ my file names thank you.

I also agree, I prefer maximized applications. It is so annoying accidentally clicking between two panels and finding myself in a completely different application.

Also, I find Apple’s implementation of Home/End, Cntrl-Left/Right, hightlight to be less effective. And very inconsistent from application to application.

That said, there is a lot to like in OSX as well. I find it a much more responsive and communicative OS. I’ve found programs to hang or crash just as much as on XP. However, the OS seems less inclined to take a hit. Though I’ve had some major hangs after OSX updates.

the Combo keys are a beauttifull tool and I LOVE IT and some times the mouse is no needed. the app’s are easy and just Drag it. doesn’t need’s install severall Folders into several folders. there is not a #$”$%”/ system 32

hope some of the usabillity issues will be fixed in leopard, but regardless i will probably still buy a macbook soon (after testing its ubuntu compatibillity).

To comment on your “issues”:

#10: Try finding the full keyboard functionality .. ;-)

#09: Because of “EFI” usage. This is what PC developers have tryed making possible for years.

#08: Learn the right keyboard shortcuts (They’re all there and can be found in System Preferences under “Keyboard shortcuts”. At least OSX has a shortcut for “New Folder”. I always wondered why Windows left that one (and others) out?

#07: I’ve had 2 crashes since installation. Try avoiding installations of crappy 3rd party softwares as much as possible.

#06: Keyboard shortcuts, my friend! :D

#05: New times makes new hasards. bare in mind that Mac’s are now Intel and that’s a major update that will give you some issues for a time being.

#04: sourceforge.net, macupdate.com, versiontracker.com .. ;-)

#03: Read about your formats and you’ll realize why the better world (read: linux, unix and Mac users in general) are using these formats.

#02: Loving it! This makes a true believer come true! :-)

#01: Available when needed!

If you wanna sell and have bigger trouble with PC’s - Please email me with a price for your mac .. lol
