Things I Don’t Like About My Mac

  1. .Mac seems like a rip off
    (I don’t use it, but if I could point it to my own server for storage and so on… that would rock)
  2. Command + C vs Ctrl + C and all the other shortcuts I have to relearn
    (yes I know there are ways to make it mimic windows, but I figure I should learn it the right way)
  3. Resume From Suspend Is a Crapshoot
    (fixed with a perm hibernate hack–but still annoying)
  4. Hibernate not easily accessible
    (fixable within the command line, but it should be a choice)
  5. No good native development IDE
    (I really like Visual Studio 2005, haven’t find anything close on the mac, I run it via parallels)
  6. Installing new apps could be a little more obvious
    (I have it down, but many others don’t seem to get that sometimes you copy it to apps, other times you just run a package, or sometimes you have to open apps in the finder first to copy it…..)

That is about it. If I want to play a windows game, I just reboot into XP and am fine. Other then that I am in OSX/Parallels XP 100% of the time.

Hints for windows users

Command+Tab for switching apps
Command+~ for switching windows within the app
Ctrl+F4 for switching all windows within all apps (I am not making this one up)

But why not just use the fancy Expose window thingy?   With 30 windows they are too small to really pick the one I want quickly.
