I finally got a mac (actually a few months ago)

I broke down and got a mac a few months ago, and WOW does it ever SSUUUUUCCCKKKK.

I've never complained about a computer before, have used everything under the sun, with the exception of Window ME.
I even used Vista for a year, and though it was frustruting, it was not nearly as STUPID as my mac is.

So, i'm not much of a blogger, but thought I'd put out my thoughts and get my frustrations out about what irks me so much about OSX.

This isn't a 'you just gotta adjust' type of thing. Some of it will be, but I like to think I've adjusted.

I'm perfectly comforable on linux, and windows (of course), i even used BE back in the day. But I have never experience anything like this.

I really do hand it to Apple marketing though.
They've told everybody 'it's simple to use', and now tons of people quote that back again and again.

My sister is a HUGE mac fan, always telling me how great it is. When I ask her how to do something simple like close all my current windows and show me my desktop, she says, 'I don't know how to do that, call Apple'.
Like i need a frickin' helpdesk to view my desktop.

Now, in windows7 , microsoft have hidden the little 'go to desktop' icon on the right side by the task bar, and they didn't put a logo in it either. But I still somehow managed to find it accidently.

After months on Mac.... nope!
