It's soo stream lined and easy to use. I love Apple's idea of Widgets and the Blinds (or w/e U wana call it). I mean it's the best, u press one key and u have all of your stuff pop up on the screen. Also I love how u can get custom widgets that interact with online web services (such as this one), u can get things like sports, weather, market. I think eBay even has one, or they should. eh, w/e. im not gona blab on about it.

Replies Stormblazer Posted at 1:14 pm on Aug. 17, 2006 Bad because it's has so many stolen ideas. Macs are NOT the first system to use widgets and blinds and etc. God I'm sick of mac cultists. sydpao Posted at 10:22 pm on Aug. 16, 2006 Mac's GUI are far more better than windows'   you don't need to be a genius to tell that.. hehehe swear! Macropiper Posted at 3:53 pm on Aug. 2, 2006 Its kind of pretty, but als kind of fustrating to use, what with the menu bar being at the top of the screen, and suchlike. Its just a bit too different for my tastes, although given enough exposure to it, I would get used to it. espresso8097 Posted at 3:44 pm on Aug. 2, 2006 "What would u rate the "looks" of the Mac OS X desktop?" THe looks are Okay, but i hate macs in general.  (well, until I can afford Daul G5 processors) mephisto mortis Posted at 2:38 pm on Aug. 2, 2006 Quote: from Zw33K3RB0Y at 9:40 pm on Aug. 1, 2006 Quote: from pleaseremove at 4:58 pm on Aug. 1, 2006 Sleek themes it may well have, but thats not what helps me use my computer.

Minimum video req. 32mb Direct X 9.x compatible graphics card, recemended  128mb!!! .   In fact, Mac OS X was voted most usable ( http://www.computerworld.com/html/collateral/msvistatour/02introchart.html ) vs all windows, and other OS's in HISTORY!. I would sya Mac OS X is the best OS out there for standard user needs. For gaming, Windows PWNS! Yes, real credible poll.  In fact, combining all linux distros, BSD's, and Unix into one category only augments the fact that the poll is accurate,  especially when multiple versions of the Mac Os and Windows are included.  And lets not forget that Vista isn't even out yet.

Thr0wn Posted at 2:46 pm on Aug. 1, 2006 I find it interesting- yet I am still not too big a fan of macs, especially after all those annoying "Mac VS. PC" commercials. 4est Posted at 2:43 pm on Aug. 1, 2006 Quote: from Roy at 2:41 pm on Aug. 1, 2006 No. The mac OS sucks. He says as another peice of his Dell falls off... 5. And its called Exposé.
