  • Some interesting points, however: 1. The idea of compatible control keys as you suggest is just plain daft. If one stops to think about it, the Mac system of modifier keys is far more sensible. If you particularly want to use the same system as Windows, under 10.4, you can go to Keyboard in System Prefs and do so. So in a way, problem solved already. 2. Save buttons on toolbars? Fair enough point, but not really an OS X one. This is more up to the app developers. I agree that maybe more apps need to include this ability (from all developers, including Apple) but it is not an 'OS X thing' From a personal perspective, I just use Command-S, but then I'm more of a keyboard person. 3. Multi-button mouse? NO. This is part of the Mac. It keeps it nice and simple. Perhaps Apple should make a 3 button mouse, but it shouldn't be standard. As it is, things work pretty well I think, whereby one can just plug in any 3 button USB mouse and expect it to work. Although I do think Apple should work on improving scrolling performance in OS X, but that's another matter... 4. Fair point. On the other hand, I occasionally do want to work with a file that "isn't compatible", but the Windows way is probably better. 5. Yup, totally agree. Maybe only do it when sorting by Kind. 6. No opinion on this one. Can't really think of any features off the top of my head that Windows has that I want to see put it.
