[QUOTE="The.Gab, post: 990355, member: 140114"] lifeisabeach, I feel like I need to defend Windows here. I'm just adding a Mac to my life, not switching to it. [I]So put them where you like. There's no reason why you can't.[/I] I wasn't pointing out a fault on the Mac or anything. The My Document folder is also a default for lots of stuff for Windows and I've never used it. I'm just saying that I need control and I'll have to see if Macs will give me as much as Windows. [I]Most apps, once installed, can be moved and run from anywhere. My Applications folder is sub-categorized with apps sorted accordingly. You can move them at any time… no reinstalling necessary. OS X just keeps up with wherever they go. Try THAT in Windows.[/I] Yes, that's one place where the Mac is superior in everywhere, which I'm glad to admit. [I]These multi-touch trackpads are utterly the bomb. I don't think you have the newer unified trackpad that doubles as a button. Trust me… once you use one, you just don't ever want to use anything else. There are a few more gestures besides the 2-finger scrolling.[/I] If we only compare trackpads, the Mac is superior. However, on my Fujitsu T4310, I use my fingers on the screen to scroll. Now try that with a Mac. (And the iPad doesn't count because it doesn't have OS X.) [/QUOTE]
