[QUOTE="Oneironaut, post: 1202184, member: 88633"] You don't have to use any of the included programs if you don't want to, but I think eventually you will come around. I used to HATE Macs and even when I had to get one for work, I only used it for Final Cut Pro. But after awhile, I came to really like the applications that come with it and the ones that the developer community creates. iPhoto is not that bad, in fact it's great if you don't have any other photo organizing and editing software. I used to agree with you about Safari and downloaded Firefox for my Mac, but now I use Safari as my main web browser. Macbook Pro's feel warmer because they work as hard as desktops and the aluminum makes a great heat conductor. But it's totally normal. There is a learning curve for OS X, but I think eventually you'll like the multitasking features once you get used to them, just as you'd have to get used to Windows features coming from a Mac. I don't use Spaces that often, but I use Expose constantly. It's all there to use if you want to. I also used to think owning a Mac was about being a smug hipster, which is why I refused to get one for so long. But really in the end it's about a smoother and more enjoyable computing experience.
