10 Reasons to use Mac

I am heavy user for Windows more than 10 years. I owned 3 computer. 2 desktop and 1 laptop. All is Windows OS based. I changed my laptop from Windows OS based to Mac Book this year. I found that Mac OSX is really good to use.

My current computers,

• Mac Book with Leopard OSX
• HP Desktop with Windows Vista Basic
• DIY Desktop with Windows XP SP2

I think most of the user very familiar with the Windows features. Today, I share some Mac OSX features that really excited me. Almost all features I like is enhance the user work flow.

1. Preview the files or folders - Just press SPACE bar on the folder or file, the preview window will pop out.

1. 3D Cover Flow files navigation - Navigate your files in 3D, just act like ITunes

Spot the files easily - Type a keyword in the Spotlight, all related files will list out.

Multi Desktop Workstation - Divide your desktop to 9 space, so that you can work in 9 screens.

One step to install and uninstall - Drop the software to applications folder to install and drop the software to trash to uninstall.

Folder color labeling - The folder can label with color

Powerful Network Connection - The AirPort network search is very powerful, it can search and connect to wireless point very fast.

Desktop Work Flow - Just move your mouse to show all active windows as the pictures below, so you can access the window easily

Do not have OK and Submit button - Mac skip one step to faster the work, Mac do not have OK or Submit button, after your settings, just close the window.

Dock - Dock bar that enable user to access application in one step

Control Panel in MAC - System Preferences

I just shift from Window platform to MAC platform after 10 years using Window OS. I already experienced Windows OS from Window 3.11 until Vista.  

Today I want to share something about the OS heart, Control Panel or we called it System Preferences in MAC.

Both control panel almost same from feature wide.

MAC emphasize in User Friendly, it come with Dock, Expose & Spaces and Spotlight. All above allow user to control the MAC more effectively. 

Window control panel more in setting, especially setup the Firewall and Security Center. It also come with Administrator which we can setup IIS, Services and Data Source. 

I found that the Network Setting in MAC are quick easy. It even can detect the network setting automatically. 

MAC have the strength in end user experience and Window have the strength in Corporate Workspace. 

In MAC, I still not sure how to control the Start Up Items, I try to figure out the way to add and remove Start Up Item but failed. According the Internet resources, We need to go to Library - StartUpItem Folder to delete the file, BUT, i found nothing inside the folder.
