I want to access Adobe Photoshop but i can't find it anywhere, this is where windows wins, all of the programs you installed are on the desktop or on the start menu, that is a much easier way of finding things.

I've been a Mac owner for 4 days, and I disagree that the "GUI is scattered with loads of stuff". The GUI stays as clean as you want it to, I much prefer not to have my desktop cluttered with useless shortcut icons. Everytime I install a Windows program I have to remove the shortcut from the desktop, OS X never dumps shortcuts icons on my desktop. I hate the Start Menu paradigm, it's becomes a complete mess once you have had your Windows installation for a while. I end up having to waste time cleaning up my Start menu. This isn't just a Windows issue, try using KDE.
Now in the OS X world, I have the Dock, which is the equivalent of Windows' Taskbar and Quicklaunch Toolbar. I find the Dock takes up less space, is easier to use and manage than its Windows equivalents. Finding things in Mac OS X is 100 times easier than in Windows. Ok, I can't find Adobe Photoshop, big deal, I press Command-Space and start typing Photoshop, or I can install Quicksilver and press CTRL-Space and start typing Photoshop. The combination of Quicksilver and Spotlight has removed the need for a Start Menu. |
