what about it is confusing?sidAlan BrowneAlan Brownesid
No - but it is delivered with photographic workflow in mind - including in Finder.
So what is delivered with a new Mac that is particularly with a photographic workflow in mind, that isn't delivered with other OS'
Already described in part by nosapm. Others would include "Coverflow" (another thing in Finder for very rapidly looking at photos and docs).
Again - it's much easier to experience than to describe.
Well my experience of OSX is different to yours. I have 3 close friends and 2 family members who use macs so I am not unfamiliar with it although I can only say I've dabbled a bit and I find it clunky and confusing. That's because I'm used to something else, it's not rocket science.
I am used to using linux, have been for more than 12 years, it's a piece of piss to install and set up,no it isn't. if that were true it would not fail the mom test, which it does. if that were true, linux would be commonly used on the desktop, which it isn't.
it's free and I can run it on any damn hardware I please, it's easy to maintain,it's secure, it's smooth and quick in operation and I can have any of the fancy desktop gizmos that the mac users seem to covet. What's not to like!the lack of apps and hardware support, both peripherals and cards. drivers are usually just mac and windows. linux users are often on their own to get it to work.
Different to what we are used to does not equate to crap. We'd all be much more narked if there was no choice and we were all stuck with windows.it's not crap because it's different, it's crap because it lacks the ability to run all of the commercial software available for mac and windows that you can't run unless you use virtualization or something like wine, the latter of which is a hack that doesn't work all that well most of the time.
