Well to be fair I started another thread called "Things I dislike about OS X" but in reality there are things I really like about it as well. So i figured I would point those out.
1. I really like Expose. I don't know how you mac users got along before without it. It would be like XP missing the taskbar and having to use ALT+TAB for everything. My only complaint would be that you can't drag files from one finder window to another using expose. Like grabbing a file from one finder window, dragging it to the corder of your screen to launch expose and then letting the file go on the window you want to drop it into. That would be really nice. But it's ok.
2. I wasn't really sure about the dock before but I'm really liking it. I enjoy how it serves multiple purposes, you can launch apps with it, you can pull apps to the front with it, you can minimize apps to it, you can drag files and folder to it and you can monitor the status of things for certain apps with it.
The only think you can't seem to do is drag a file to it and have it spring open the app/folder/finder to them drop the file into. But I've already covered this a thousand times.
3. I like how easy it is to burn DVD's. I always had a pain trying to burn disks with windows and always relied on Nero or iTunes for that. Now I can burn data files in the OS with no problems.
4. I love the webcam integration. On XP (or Vista) webcams aren't really used very much. Certain apps will take advantage of them but for the most part it's assumed they don't exist. There are several apps I've run into already that support the isight cam making it snap (no pun intended) to quickl take a picture or video for whatever use.
5. I like how applications don't close when you X out their window. I admit that at first this annoyed me and sometimes I still find myself thinking I closed an app when I didn't. But now I really like that aspect. Especially if I were to accidentally X out a window when I didn't mean to. it's rare but it happens. I can only imagine the pain and suffering mac users must go through when switching to XP/Vista based on habit of X-ing windows and finding they just closed the app completely.
What else would you like to add?
