I guess what I’m saying though is overall the Windows environment seems more intuitive. Maybe it’s a matter of just getting used to it…maybe I just need to learn some keyboard shortcuts. With Mac OS I have to press Cmd while I’m dragging. For example, I can right-click on a file to drag and move it (instead of copy it). I just find it easier to manage files in Windows. In Mac OS I have to hit the spacebar to bring up the first photo then use the up and down arrow keys and that doesn’t work when the photo is maximized. In Windows I just double click on an image and it opens it full screen in photo viewer then I use my mouse or arrow keys to toggle through the photos. Another example…viewing photos in a folder. ![]() In Windows I simply click and drag the window, I don’t have to go into a “Mission Control”…and I don’t want 3rd party apps to do this. On MacOS I have to take my hand off of the keyboard and 3 finger swipe up on the trackpad to get to mission control (or hit the F3 button) then click and drag the app to the window where I want to park it. For example, clicking and dragging programs from 1 monitor to another. Things that I find incredibly easy in Windows I find extremely difficult in MacOS. For example, a few times now I’ve tried running MacOS at work with multiple monitors as well as an external keyboard and mouse. It’s when I try to do more complex stuff with the Mac that I run into frustrations. ![]() So I don’t hate MacOS and for much of what I do after work it’s just fine…and that’s really not much.mostly web browsing, replying to emails, etc. I wish I could just run Windows all the time on my Macbook but the experience just isn’t as smooth as it is on MacOS and then I’d be missing my iMessage functionality. So what I typically do is boot into Windows via Bootcamp during the day (so that I can join my company’s domain) then switch back to MacOS during evenings and weekends. As someone who came from the Windows world, can somebody explain to the me appeal of Mac OS? I started on Macbooks back with my 2013 rMBP and I absolutely love my Macbooks, including the new 2016 rMBP…but mainly for 2 things, the hardware (with that silky smooth trackpad that I so far haven’t found on a PC laptop) and the ability to iMessage. ![]()
