But most good OS X citizens are scriptable and there is even a powerful scripting agent called Automator that you will never touch unless OS X or some program doesn't do something you want. The real power of OS X is cleverly hidden by Apple from the casual user. It's easy but different in some cases than Windows. Installing software is something you should look up before attempting. Also cmd + ` for switching windows is different and takes getting used to. It definitely takes a while to get used to. The whole mission control thing is a bit of a mess in OS X IMO. You have to move your finger to the alt key and let go of cmd to make the window appear. ![]() When you minimize a program it will switch but not appear. The hardest part for me was getting used to cmd + tab for switching programs. OSX is not perfect by any stretch but it's the best of all our choices. It will feel weird at first to not have to spend time on maintenance but go for a bike ride, gym, fly a kite, engage with real life and the feeling will pass. Things are designed to be simple and just work so I can spend LESS time on the computer. To me the big differentiator is the user experience. Study the Mac key commands to get your workflow back up to speed. The Finder is more flexible/useful than Explorer once you get used to it. You'll need to get used to using Command rather than Control, the three finger salute uses different keys and there's extra work involved in cutting. To me it's easier to go from PC to Mac than vice versa. Buying an extra OS is expensive but not as expensive as buying another computer. This is very useful if you have software that only runs on Windows or if you need to test a web site for example. Who says you can't have a foot in each world? Since the move to Intel, you can have Windoze/OSX on the same hardware. Hope it helps you out a bit and you get a nice machine sorted out I have been on a mac about four years now and its the best thing i ever did i wont go back to using a windows machine again sometimes i have to use a windows machine but i don't like using because to me its a lot slower then using a mac.I just go on the web one day and i looked at mac i was in two minds in buying one and i thought oh well i buy one and see what its like if its no good i just sell it and get some money back and get a windows machine from some where.Have a look on youtube about mac and pc pros and cons there be loads of information on there about them I would suggest going to apple store and haven a go on one before you make your mind up because you might not like it at all its not a thing everyone likes some people like it some people don't like it at all and the end of the day it down to personal preference. The best thing about a mac is been able to multi task have lots of programs open all at once which you couldn't do on a windows machine.Other great ting about the mac is there is no really any viruses around to harm your mac.Me personally i do a lot of video editing and converting and photo editing so a mac is great for me because it does it so well and so easy too. ![]() ![]() Mac is so simple to use when you know how of coarse like anything
