If I'm listening to music, I use Winamp. If I'm tagging my MP3s, I use MediaMonkey. If I'm chatting, I use Trillian (Astra) If I'm browsing, I use Firefox. I use Thunderbird for E-mail Sunbird for scheduling and µTorrent for, well, torrents. Posted on: 21 February 2008, 18:04:20
the #####tacular Microsoft Office (especially the new 07 lets make the program unusable with a complete ##### new interface version). I like office 07 just fine. It took some adjusting, but it's significantly more intuitive. Sometimes I wonder if you're just doing the old man thing and disliking something simply because it's different. |

No more pencils, No more books
I built a city out' one brick, it had a Mayor and a Crook
I made the Crook stab the Mayor, then slay himself in the guilt
I stole the brick back and migrated east, now let's build. |

Firefox is definitely the thing, mmm-hmm.
Paint.NET - Free, decent Windows-based 2D graphic editor, but not as good as
GiMP - Free, good GNUPL Windows/Linux 2D graphic editor
Blender - Excellent 3D graphic editor, but a little slow since it's interpreted
AVG - Pretty good antivirus software. Haven't had any problems while it's been up.
DOSbox - DOS "computer program of dubious legality", good for playing old DOS games
WinAmp - This is good and has been suggested so go get it
DeamonTools - Allows you to create virtual drives from disc images (iso, cue, ccd), which is handy
Can't think of anything else.

I did use it on XP, I have no need for it otherwise.
I have no idea what you mean about the directories in OSX. Customization is easy enough for me but I'm assuming you want a level of customization that's more in depth than mine. I don't find that network-related options are actually hard to configure at all, they're just pretty different from the PC.
I do agree that the Mac keyboard needs tweaks (like the whole backspace and delete thing, that's so stupid) and you're out of your mind if you don't use a Microsoft USB mouse on it, unless it's a laptop like mine in which case the trackpad is fine. I also agree about the RAM hogging, but disagreeing with that is akin to lying.
Of course, the the original OSX was quite ##### compared to the newest two, and I run 10.4 (current top of the line is 10.5). For what I do, OSX is perfect but you do programming and stuff that I doubt any version of OSX lends itself to easily.
I really think it depends on what you have and want out of your computer. I personally can't stay confined to Mac or PC and have to switch back to Windows every once in a while (except the XP on my PC is currently beyond garbage). Also when you're used to one thing, it's harder to accept the other, that's my main observation of people using the Macs we have to use for our work at school; They'll try to do something really easy but do it wrong because it's just a little different and then cuss out the Mac like they aren't the ones being moronic, but that's for really simple things that they are obviously being completely anal about.
