Oh boy, get ready for a rant:
- Cntr-l C when nothing is selected will wipe out the last copied thing on the pasteboard. Why? Is that useful?
- Apps come with all their internals exposed and littered all over the system. What are they, what do they do, what is important?
- Explorer navigation is a joke
- Drag-n-drop is only half supported in the system and by only half the apps.
- The "Start" menuing and nav is horrid and overly complicated.
- Half the alert panels are non-descript, and completely useless. Have the exposed config options are beyond comprehension, who uses them?
- The bundles apps are complete ****. Notepad? Image Viewer? Please.
- Is network configuration still a treasure hunt? Why not put it with the rest of the system configs?
- "Command" is a joke.
- Add/Remove apps? Why? Drop the sucker on the Desktop and lets go.
Man, I could go on and on and on and on. Lets not get me started on Visual Studio, that ****er isn't half done, much less usable.
I want full control of the system when I want to have it, and when I don't, I don't want to see any of it. I don't want to beg the system to find my files, or let me delete things, or let me install things. I don't want my intelligence insulted when I need to configure things or change the system.
Here ian,let me blow your mind a little. This is the system config where you can touch nearly anything, and its all in one happy place:
And here is the "Sharing" pane where the services are configured:
No reboots, no treasure-hunts, no unknown HTT TRF WERR features to wonder about.
BTW, I took these screenshots using a system feature, they were saved to my Desktop as PNG's. Select both, double click, they open in "Preview", the Swiss Army Knife of viewers, where I could save them in a variety of different formats, but I chose JPG. I could have saved them as PDFs (with no Adobe mind you, its not needed on a Mac), but JPG is fine.
Now, Im sure there are ways to do all this in Windows, but the point is on the Mac its not a game of cat and mouse, it just works, everytime, with no bull**** to get your way.
