Worst thing about macs

[sunfast]

I agree that this is the worst thing about macs. There are some real idiots out there and they give the rest of us a bad name.

At worst I'm an anti-anti-anti-mac-fanboi fanboi.

I was expecting a good critique of the OS or the hardware, but instead got one man's rage against 1% of Mac users, who happen to frequent forums like this one more so than the other 99%. Wasted my time reading what I already was annoyed at.

Still, hopefully those people will realize why they're annoying, so good find.

Yes. Hopefully they will.

Is Vista better than XP? Absolutely.

In my opinion, it is not even close. Vista fails XP by miles.

XP is a great OS. Win2000 was a great OS.

Vista is on par with Windows Me, which is a step up from MS Bob.

I work IT for 60 Windows computers. The ones that have been downgraded to Vista are a nightmare.

I HATE not being able to maximise windows fully with one click, it honestly does my head in!

I haven't even heard that from either ObeyGiant or SwarmLord, conservative members of MR (you might want to introduce yourself to them, lukeiphone)

The apps "remember" the last window size you used, so this shouldn't be too much of a problem most of the time. Besides, other than Safari, I use smaller windows because this makes me more productive. Even with Spaces, the smaller windows can help. The idea of "needing" a full sized window is something you'll just have to grow out of

I'd be too easily sidetracked by whatever open window I could see!

Really?

Are you a bad multi-tasker by any chance? This might explain it a little...

The maximise thing is definitely something that you adapt to.

I hated it at first, and I must admit I still miss it sometimes. It's not just that it maximises the window (in Windows), it locks the borders of the window too... if you do the same thing in OS X (which takes more effort) you can move the window around and/or get it a few pixels out from the screen border, which is not as good for Usability. It's not worth losing sleep over, but it's mildly irritating IMO.

However as I'm on a 20" screen now, anything maximised (other than Photoshop which has its own equivalent) would look weird.

Personal focus and lack of distractions are valid points from a Usability point of view... I'd love to see something a bit like Exposé which made everything except your current window disappear (including the desktop background, dock etc) so that your single window is sat on a plain canvas. I'd easily pay for a shareware utility to do so.
