Journal Elwood P Dowd's Journal: Am I the only person on the planet that loves Windows? 2
I mean, I hate computers as much as anyone, but I really like how effective I am at working in Windows. I really like taskbar+maximizing as a general workflow.
I like the candy colors in Windows XP. I like the way quicklaunch works. I don't so much like the All Programs menu, and would prefer a dashboard with bigger prettier icons like the dock + Application directory, but not a big deal.
And there are big glaring problems with using a Windows computer, too. But there are different big, glaring problems with Mac OS.
If I bought a Mac, I'd be one of the maybe-macos-is-ok toe-dipping switchers, just like people who'd never used it before. But I used it for YEARS. Mac OS X was brutal to me. I'm sure with a core duo it won't feel like the gui is dipped in molasses, but I'm still skittish.
And while it'd be a huge improvement in hardware compared to my current setup, it'd either cost $2000 or it would be a crucial step down in specs. And I'd be trading Google Desktop for Spotlight.
Whinge whinge whinge. I'll wait.
