[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 1192869, member: 59143"] I'm so tired of this stupid justification for why OS X doesn't utilize a more efficient manner of doing things in Finder. The only reason it doesn't work the same way is because Apple wants to have a patent on OS behaviors which share nothing in common with that of another OS for the "different" factor.. well, and the patents, of course. For how many years has this same stupid argument been held to the way you re-size windows in OS X, and now look what they're doing in Lion. Yeah, I'm saying it's contradictory and hypocritical. Of course not having cut and paste is a compromise which most are happy to accept due to all the other wonderful features which makes OS X what it is vs what Windows is, but this is FAR FAR FAR from the point. Apple keeps dumbing things down as we're kind of seeing with iOS and Lion, and wants to make things as simple as possible for people, yet we still have arguments saying that cut and paste isn't a better method than holding down command to drag and drop? Nonsense. Utter nonsense. Remember, it's not just Windows that does this... Linux does as well, and BSD, correct? And what's under the hood of OS X? Exactly. Enough of the apologist mentality already. I don't want OS X to be Windows... heaven forbid ! If I did, I um... would rather use Windows lol.. Doug [/QUOTE]
