You can customize pretty much anything you want in OS X as long as you know how to do it....
Here's a sample guide for starters

PS: I am not an apple fanboi..I am more of a Windows power user, but your vehement apple bashing comes across as really funny at times

of course not...the OS X Unix kernel is in fact a lot more stable than the windows kernel...
It's just that most of us (including you guys), by virtue of the fact that we've been using windoze right since the start, are a whole lot more familiar with the internals on windoze
Ask a windoze n00b to tinker with the advanced settings and see how quickly he ends up messing it

so don't you think you have answered your question yourself?
Also, I am pretty sure that even in the last 1 year, you have been using OS X once in a while and not all the time....
How long did it take for you to reach a level of comfort on windows before you could start tweaking around ?

That's because you are using it on unsupported hardware.iMav said:
How many times have you installed Windows (or had it installed by someone) in your life?superczar said:
You are a hardcore user, so you have now perfected the art of keeping Windows in running shape after a lot of trial-and-error. Mac OS X, IMHO, spares you that learning experience.
I would like to reiterate. I have never seen a Windows installation on any computer whatsoever working perfectly. I am sure even your systems have some glitches... (like error messages popping out of nowhere, stupid balloons popping up all over the place, windows snatching focus for no reason at all, applications refusing to be end tasked...)
I haven't seen your systems though, so I may be wrong in this regard. But I stand by what I said about never having seen a perfectly fine Windows installation.

windows no time and i expected os x to be the same but alas the os is so crappy and feature less that other than changing the wall paper theres nothing u can do without using third party softwares
os x spares u that because it has a minute scope of tinkering as compared to windows if u havent seen it doesnt mean there is none ....

True, I am a windoze power user and have nearly perfected the art(?) of keeping my puppies running smoothly
It's also true that OS X in comparison requires very little maintenance to keep it in that shape...
However, it's not all roses
My iPhoto groans under my 5000+ picture collection
My iTunes has started groaning under my huge music collection
Simple things like mapping a network drive require writing a startup script
I know there are ways to fix all of those...there are alternatives to iphoto too
I am not complaining about the above...it's just that I am trying to point out that OS X ain't perfect either

Now don't you lie through your teeth
Windows woud have been most likely your first exposure to computers....(If not MS DOS)
trust me it would have taken at least several months of long goggle eyed sessions in front of your comp before you would have realized there even exists something called regedit
Anyway, if you really intend to learn, here comes a preview of your first primer on tweaking OS X:

This is more of a problem with computers in general but yeah, I hope this is fixed in Leopard.superczar said:
Fixed in Leopard.superczar said:
Oh, I know that. I have never claimed that it is perfect (at least, not seriously). The point is that it is a lot better suited for most tasks than Windows is. It is a lot easier to maintain, much more stable and secure. It definitely has the best user interface among operating systems.superczar said:
It isn't perfect, yes. But it definitely is the best.
There is an unwritten rule on the Digit forum - don't ever expect gx_saurav or iMav to tell the truth. Hope they do but don't expect them to.superczar said:Now don't you lie through your teeth
