Sadly, one of the coolest things on the mac, Hot Corners, is a total annoyance to non-mac users. They're always activating spaces and going to screen saver without knowing what they're doing. I've been forced to deactivate hot corners =[

Click to expand...

Not that annoying if you dont configure the top left corner.

I have it setup like this and its really helpful at times.

top right corner -- DESKTOP

bottom Right corner - all windows.

I am glad i didnt go get an another windows laptop.

hot corners are cute, but I find the keyboard shortcuts a whole lot easier

2008 8-core mac pro. 4GB RAM 1.5TB storage. Dual LCDs (one IPS monitor for the colour).
I just turned mine off. Keyboard or the smartmouse does it just fine.

I'm a former non-mac user and I have grown to love hot corners!

I like it, I have to too bottom corners set, one to turn the screen off and one to go to desktop, why turn off a feature that annoys windows users? It's your Mac not theirs :)

It is interesting how differently we each operate our macs and I'm amazed at OS-X's adaptability!
