I think they are doing a good enough job with marketting that they will grab ever more market share, but to really tip the scales they have to hit the masses, and this OS is just not simple enough to do that. It would be sure doom for me: an eternity at the 5th level of purgatory (family tech support by phone).Īs loud as Apple trumpets, I really think MS got it right, Apple has a lot of catching up to do if they really want to capture more people. I knnow I’ll end up getting around just fine, but I would *never* tell my family members to get a Mac. Maybe this is deep-seated anger at their hilarious but incorrect ads, or the flashy arrogance about user interface and ease-of-use that Apple projects and feeds so much money into. The few Mac users (some long-time) I know tend to agree.

I’m sure there are widgets or sidebars or some way to add Windows like navigation to OSX, and maybe I’ll jsut grow to love it, but after a bit of time I’ve come to the realization that they made it really easy for the preinstalled software, not so much for everything else. I see videos of people zooming around OSX land and they don’t have much trouble, but most of the videos I watch are like Ruby demos and stuff. The system tray in Windows is a good (annoying how much crap goes there, but not MS’ fault) thing, the quick launch bar, user-definable toolbars, etc. Multiple instances of apps is instantly apparent on Windows, doesn’t even seem possible on Mac. You see what is running, whereas the Dock mixes running apps and launchable apps in a jumbled mess.

HOW TO PUT SHORT CUT TO PANDORA ON MAC DOCK INSTALL

Oh, no shortcut, I should have known to drag the install icon from the disk image to my desktop, or maybe the Dock, etc.) Oh it installed something *somewhere*, let me go find it. Not so much on Apple, the installers are totally non-intuitive (oh, this is a virtual drive that parks itself on my desktop. Even hard-core lower level tools get installed to the Start menu: Control panel, Admin tools, etc. 98% of the time it highlights the new item and alerts her that something new is there. My Mom knows that as soon as she installs something on Windows, she can go to the Start menu and find it. Maybe if they had a path to get to all applications from the Apple menu or something.

It just isn’t as clean as always having your happy little Start button just sitting there waiting for you. If you have another application active, then no Finder menu bar. There is the menu system on Finder that gets to most things, but you have to have Finder up. Is it in Applications? Applications->Utilities? Developer? Somewhere else? Having to browse them in ‘explorer’ fashion vs. When I want to find the TextEdit tool, or the screen grabber, or the equivalent of MSPaint (is there one?), it isn’t easy to find. Finder is a great search tool, but is still kind of ‘techie’. I’ve had Unix experience (albeit many many years ago), and I have trouble finding my applications. On Windows, you don’t get that initial wow factor.īut, for the average Joe, the Start button and menu system makes WAY more sense.

Apple did really well there, finding and getting into most of the ‘important’ pre-installed applications is quick, easy, painless, and graphically pleasing.

I think for anything that comes installed on the Dock, it is a beautiful thing. OSX just hasn’t done enough to hide its ‘Unixness’ from the user. So after some usage time now, I’ve decided that the whole ‘Start’ menu thing, as much as it gets made fun of, was really a good way to go.
