But my other question was not answered.
I had asked the following-
Along this line a friend who recently purchased a Macbook said he
thought it was better in many ways but it sometimes too three times
more clicks on keys than his Dell. I always thought Macs were
simpler and faster.
Without specifics on what he says takes more clicks or is harder to do
on a Mac then a Dell (presumably running Windows) I can't address it.
I can say that all day long I support Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and now
Windows 7, and without out a doubt, Vista and Windows 7 are horribly
thought out in terms of ease of use and logical layout and locations
to do just about anything. It almost strikes me as if MS went thru XP
and said "hmm, this works well, lets change it and make it harder".
Both Vista and Win 7 appear to be aimed at users that will run 5
applications and keep all those icons directly on their desktop and
never touch any system settings of any kind. Anything beyond that
starts heading down a maze of twisty little passages all alike. (and
for those that haven't used Win 7 yet, it is just Vista with a bit of
OS X's Expose added in).
So I would have to know some specifics of what the person felt was
more clicks in OS X then on his Dell. I'm not saying it isn't
possible, it might very well be, there are occasional places that I
find things in Windows that are nice features, but those tend to be
few and far between and having a far better overall experience on OS X
quickly out weighs the tiny handful of places that Windows is better.
