    What OS X Could Learn From Windows
  • Scott, Thanks for the info! That's very good to hear, I knew that Apple would change this at some point, but would innovate around the competitors satisfying all. \m/

  • Just thought I'd check back on this thread. Wow! Still quite a bit of activity. Beeblebrox, I've got to hand it to you. You are quite the debater. I concede to an earlier statement/idea, go ahead and ship a 2 button mouse but make it possible to mechanically switch to a 1 button mouse(locking the 2 buttons together for a single click) I like this idea, and I know that Apple industrial design can make this happen, and put to rest this point of long drawn out contention. To be honest with you I have only had to use windows on a limited basis, there may be some features worth replicating on OSX, as I am not a power user of any sort I have no idea as to what they would be. My experience with windows has been very frustrating up to this point. A lot of what I would consider to be intuitive simply was not. But as I mentioned earlier, If it was a necessity I would learn windows little quirks, and not complain about changing them I would accept it as is. Beeblebrox, I would also have to agree with the scroll wheel, a 2 button mouse that has the ability to act as 1 button but with the scroll wheel on the side close to where the ring finger could easily access, possibly have the wheel being placed vertically. Don't know just blueskying here. OK, I hope that we can bury the hatchet here, I'm pooped!!!

  • Beeblebrox, You are obviously trolling, my point simply was do not expect native/longtime users to agree to turn their world upside down just attract windows users. What would be the upside for me? Cheaper prices due to the installed user base? That's pretty minor compared to the hit my productivity would take. You are nothing more than a F@%!ing windows fanboy, who assumes larger numbers equal superiority. Wrong, as I said before learn the language or get out! Do you even use OSX? If so must be on a limited basis, probably an IT professional or Network admin. I'm used to hearing this crap from the likes of you. Also, I made no mention of ergonomics, but since you brought it up: I would asssume that ergonmics should be based on a users needs. I myself have big meaty hands and carpal tunnel, a single button mouse just makes sense, as I am sure it does to a lot of users(based on their needs) We could debate this all day, but frankly you bore me with your silly comments. Please stick to your 50 button mouse and superior OS and ergonomic keyboard, I have no need for it. Go ahead and slap whatever lable you want on me, we all know you are nothing but a sniveling little geek hiding behind his/her big bad words.

  • Just a case in point, the whole bruhaha over a 2 button mouse is rediculous. Someone stated above that they refuse to use 2 hands to access contextual menues, what's the big deal? I have my left hand on the keyboard all the time and my right on the mouse most of the time. It really poses no problem for me. I guess I can safely assume that NONE of the switchers play drums, huh? The thing that gets me jacked in these dicussions, is the way all the trolls throw around the terms mac zealots and mac fanatics. Just because I prefer to do things a certain way or have grown acustomed to things being a certain way, means I am some sort of mindless steve jobs lover, and that his word is law. Whatever. I guess the same could be said about those who declare the windows way is the right way. I mean come on people, think it through, it's all what you have been exposed to. Put a little effort into it, I'm sure that when you 1st started using windows, you didn't immediately know everything about the operating system. This is a microcosm of what is wrong with this country, people are too damned lazy to put forth the effort! Geez, you bunch of whiney losers. Stick to windows if the mac sucks so bad.

  • Whoa! Angry Hampster, I really have no desire to see more windows people come to the Mac. With the influx of windows users come all of the viruses, spyware, and trojan horses. To complain about many of these features seems to me quite hypocritical. If I were to move to another country and learn a new language, I would hardly expect the masses to change the language to suit my needs. Who's to say the windows way is the best way? Why not have pc manufacturers conform to the MAC standards. My concern is for you and why you need a free hand to surf the web!
