2. As in windows If u right click on a file and select another application to open it and select it to be set as default same is not the case in MAC ... here if u choose another application for a file it will be only for that file and not the file type
3. If u load ntfs drives they are loaded as connected servers (im still unable to make them writtable)
4. Dashboard & Expose are useful .... however at times i would say a sidebar for gadgets is better coz then i dont need to load another 'desktop' for accessing my gadgets
6. it also has a similar to aero effect ... ur menus are transparet
1) There is no Full Window concept. When you try to maximize a Windows it zooms to the size of content in it. This results in you having a lot of Windows on screen. Technically speaking this increases the load on Video frame buffer or Video memory. Mac UI is palate based, like in Photoshop there are 3 palates. Viewport, Toolbox & layers/history etc. To get an idea of how the plated UI of Mac is, try GIMP on Windows. It really hinders the usability, cos now Photoshop has 3 Windows, & all are separate entities. Just minimizing the viewport will not minimize Photoshop.
2) Dock shows all you frequent applications, but what about less frequent ones? There is no "Other apps" thing. The best way I was able to manage is to make a new folder "Applications" & put the shortcuts of non-frequent apps in it. Now to start these apps first click on the dock to open this folder & then the apps. This could have been solved if there was a Menu kind of option in dock
3) Non-Standard keyboard shortcuts.
5) WMA's doesn't play in iTunes, nothing does. Just mp3 & AAC. Despite of using aac it doesn't sync with my K750i.
6) Also there is no PIM. I do not have access to outlook/office on Mac, & m seriously missing it. There are 3 seperate application such as Mail, Calender & Address book.
and if u try to drag ur applications folder to the dock ... it gets deleted
Mav , to add applications to the dock , you have to run them , then when they're running you have to right-click em n then select add to dock . whew , wuite an excersise just to add a shorcut to dock
There is also another reason. On a Mac, what u see is what u get (in colour). However with Windows XP the ability to use your own color profile system wide on any monitor took away this novelty of Mac
Mac has bluetooth device onboard in the hardware, means no more using USB bluetooth stick. However file transfer using bluetooth is slow. My data cable of K750i isn't working to sync things thogh the memory card is visible. Vista does the same using bluetooth but only if you have a Windows mobile device.
3) Doesn't comes with a messenger client which works with all protocalls out there (I mean to say adium which is free)
