Fully agree with you on that one! There's no simple solution included with your system to organize your calendar, organize your email, photos, music (well WAP isn't quite what I want). No, you have to buy or download it all.

Here is my take on it....being both a PC and Mac user.

A PC is a tool. A Mac is a tool. We use tools to get jobs done and accomplish our goals with technology. Different tools for different jobs. Different people prefer different tools. Also Mac and PC follow different business models. However, at the same time share some business models at certain aspects.

For me personally, it is all the small things OS X does. The fact I can scroll up and down in a non active window, or that I can cancel data transfers in Finder one at a time. Those are two features that are not in Windows and drive me insane when I cannot perform them because they are two of the many little things I have acclimated to as a computer user using a Mac.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this. Maybe this is not something users like but what about filevault.

That's actually a disadvantage when using Time Machine (anyone mentioned H.G. Wells' device?).

Yep, files have to be unencrypted before being backed up. Maybe they should just move filevault to external drives and leave normal drives unencrypted.

Encrypted disk images are everybody's friend. ;)

I'm gonna write an app with that functionality one day. "the files are secure AND small!!! buy my product!!"

How about watching bluray movies?
 

Just ordered an imac today. But how about some explaining why I can't watch bluray movies on mac natively on the osx. I assume that the mac is the best option for encoding movies right? Sure you can buy a bluray drive and run 3rd party apps to get movies working. A pc does it right out of the box.

Macs do not have built-in BluRay, probably because of disagreements between Sony (I think they own BluRay) and Apple.

Something else I can't do on Windows that I can do on a Mac is rename a blanking file while it's open. Hallelujah for Mac that I can open a scanned file, and rename it before closing it.

I hate that! "The document xxx was sent to the printer." No kidding? Really? I always kind of expect that when I choose the print command.

There was an error generating your error report?

Add:

1) Move a file while it's open.
2) Move a file without breaking all of the shortcuts that point to it.
3) Scroll a background window without bringing it to the front.
4) Drag and drop into a file open or save dialog.
5) Print to PDF without third-party software.

Oh, yes, a-men.

You can run Windows on a Mac machine (Intel), while you cannot run Mac on a Windows machine. Right? ;)
