What Mac OS X Could Learn From Windows

Posted by timothy on from the how-to-humiliate-and-belittle-users dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It is almost unheard of to see something written about what OS X could learn from Windows but this details some good examples. And yes, it includes the right-click mouse." I find about half the suggestions compelling enough to be worth griping over, and the other half off-base, but YMMV.

    Exactly. That's a hardware issue, not an operating system (OS X) issue. It's not OS X's fault that Apple ships computers with single-button mice.

    Microsoft copied so much from Mac OS, why can't Apple do a little copying back?

    I can totally relate to this guy. Apple should start using some of Microsoft's ideas, like binding the browser on a molecular level to the OS itself! I upgraded my iBook to 10.3 and it put in Internet Explorer, which I don't prefer to use. I was able to delete it by dragging it to my trash can! No BSOD, no registry conflicts, no "flagrant system errors", nothing!
