so I’ll be honest, I didn’t actually read this post
I just wanted to say hello and see how you are doing and how you are enjoying California (lucky duck) and just how everything is going for you and how your relationship with the Big Guy is going. I’m praying for you and definitely miss seeing you

Peter, you certainly make a point. And Brett, you do too. It is a matter of personal opinion. Moving your mouse to the Dock or Taskbar is not a bad thing, but for me it is just slow. I am a workflow fanatic, and so I liked efficiency I guess. Good call guys.

Hey Kev,

I agree with pretty much everything you said - except of course the minimizing of windows. I would rather move my mouse than do a keystroke. I think that one is just personal preference. Plus Windows includes different ways and hotkeys in order to do that with keystrokes or by tapping the mouse pad corners, etc.

I think moving Safari to Windows was a great strategy and I think that it could be successful but there are a few bugs that I have found that are consistent. Once they get a final version out it should be better.

Overall, nice review!

“Personally, I think minimizing windows is one of the dumbest ideas ever. Maybe that is one of the reasons why I hate Windows so much is because they hinge on that. I don’t want my window to go somewhere where I have to bring my mouse down and retrieve it.” - K. Cathey

Haha, Kevin, this makes apple users sound lazy. It doesn’t take that long to move my wrist to the bottom of the screen. I think you might want to find better reasons to hate windows. Like how they make operating systems that crash…and viruses. Speaking of which, I need to go run some anti-spyware programs. But don’t think I regret my Toshiba laptop. It was still hundreds cheaper and all that I need. Mwahaha.

Miss you man, you should come to the east coast. There are more massachusetts’s and peter morse’s here.

Well, while things like CoverFlow don’t do much for you command-line nerd buckets, for people who like the Mac for it’s glossy user candy, and who actually use a computer in real life situations, CoverFlow is actually welcome.

You missed mentioning one of cool new features of iChat and that’s the ability to open documents in it. Now that’s a great innovation that I will find very useful in showing clients our work.

But you are right about Widgets–what a joke.

Now if they could just get the caching bugs out of Safari and fix the stupid scaling of the columns view in the finder…
