Last time I used a Mac? As I said this is my first one ever.
My comparisons are the different behaviour between Mac, Linux and Windows or specifically how Windows and Linux are similar but Apple OS X is just slightly (annoyingly) different.
I right-click on a file there isn't any visible/intuitive option to move not copy that file to another location other than just copy it. Don't you find that weird? Forget keyboard shortcuts there are probably hundreds for each OS that nobody ever uses or knows about, in fact most people I know at work are shocked when shown CTRL+X, CTRL+V, CTRL+C. Yes Command+C copies, Command+V pastes but Command+X does nothing except play a mellow jazzy error sound.
I can't even delete a file using Delete key now you have to admit that's screwy! Pick a file, click to select press Delete - nothing happens.
Who knows maybe I'll get used it to that's my point for getting a Mac I'm just amazed at OS X's awkward differences between Windows and Linux. Different isn't bad it's just different.
- rbanffy 15y agoYou complain OSX is different from your previous experience. That's unreasonable. Macs have always been about simplicity and consistency building a predictable user experience. My experience with Macs is, like I said before, as a casual user with occasional work done in terminal sessions and Emacs (which is consistent on every computer I have), but you can trust me on that - the differences between the environments will get burned into your brain soon enough and you'll be able to easily switch between contexts.
