First of all Vista doesn't even come with native support for PDF. Secondly, who said OS X can't search within doc, xls and most other file formats? It can even search within layers of a PSD file. And that is a really really helpful feature I might add.
Here's one: ANY application, ANY, with a print command, and you can just use the bottom right "PDF" button, and select from the various options like "Print to PDF", "Compress PDF" "Encrypt PDF". Of course some of the pro applications like Indesign and whatnot don't have this in their print command cause they have a much sophisticated print dialog box. They do come with their own PDF export though so nothing lost.

Goobi, I hope you know what happened with MS when they tried to include native PDF functionality in Vista & Office 2007. There is a reason it is not in Vista.
Due to Adobe suing MS, they came up with a better alternative then PDF as far as file size is concerned. XPS.
Oh & this Print to PDF from any application, you don't need a Mac for that. just download one of many free PDF Printers for Windows Vista such as BullZip PDF printer or PDF Creator

We are going terribly off-topic here. Goobi, please stop feeding the troll! Let us just discuss Mac OS X.
What are your thoughts on the new Dock? Some people don't seem to like it. I love it.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
The new dock is good, but again some flaws.
The Apple menu has no way to disable the transparency, neither we can change the Text colour for Menubar from black to something else. Now, you might ask why we need to do this, well......put a dark colour wallpaper & you will see the problem of transparent Apple Menu like this.

Can you read the text?
There should be an option to completely disable the Transparency of Apple menu, & bring it to the current state of Tiger.
Live icons in dock is good, for images etc. But I liked the 2D dock of tiger more then Leopard Dock

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
I hate pdf. They are HUGE and scrolling lags on large pdfs. xps is way better when it comes to size and scrolling.
Anyone knows how to change mouse pointer acceleration. I actually I want to disable acceleration. The developer must have put it because its useful when people use low sensitivity settings for mouse. But for very high sensitivity its bad.

Here's a nice one I found:
In any Cocoa application on the Mac, hold Ctrl+Command+D and hover over any word. It automatically loads the definition. And move over to the next word to show that definition. I'm sure the macboys knew it, but just in case...

Although I am no longer using Mac here, but due to this. I might reinstall it.
El Jobso, this is what a Unified UI looks like. Now do Apple a favor & hire Stefanka.

Come to think about it, where the is trio of salesmen these days. Did iPhone's debacle proved out to be this much heart breaking & fatal for them
Hey arya, Apple is soon coming with new iMac's. Comon, there are still many users here which you can brainwash for a computer in which they can't customise anything.

@goobimama, smell closely. You'll surely pick up a familiar stink on this post. You know why...
Someone should post all the important news that happens in the "little kingdom" every week in this thread. It would help us get a peek at everythihng that happened at a glance. I need that right now because I'm not able to access the Internet regularly nowadays.
Changed it to 'Option + D' a long time ago, it is much more convenient and accessible that way.goobimama said:
