Also, the quicker you get a long word in, the more points you get. All words must be three letters or longer, and the longer a word, the more points you get. In this game, each player gets eight letters, and then has 90 seconds to come up with as many words as possible.
![]() And what happens if you get a new Mac, or use a friend’s? You have to redo all your shortcuts again!)Furthermore, you can access pretty much all controls in any Windows dialog or window via the keyboard. (You can add your own shortcuts on a per-app basis, but then you have to remember which shortcuts you’ve added for each app. With Mac apps you’re limited to the shortcuts chosen by the app developer. Better keyboard shortcutsYou can access any menu option in a Windows app with 2 or 3 keystrokes, and they’re the same standard keystrokes on any Windows PC. Want something that exactly matches your lifestyle or situation? The range of PC options is huge so you’re bound to find something that suits. Windows Explorer can, and jolly useful these functions are, too. More useful file managerFinder can’t cut and paste files or give you a 2-pane tree view of your files and folders. Windows uses these keys much more sensibly in my opinion. Not to mention the Home, End, Page Up and Page Down keys that scroll without moving the cursor. Sensible use of navigation keysI know I’ve been over this before, and it’s largely a “personal taste” thing, but after nearly 3 years of using the Mac I still can’t get my head around using the finger-twisting Command-Left Arrow to go the beginning of a line, and Command-Right Arrow to go the end of the line. If you get stuck with your Windows PC, chances are you know someone round the corner (or their kid!) who can help you fix it. Easier to get helpThere are many more Windows users than Mac users. And when you do get a game for the Mac, it’s often a second-rate port of the Windows version. Much bigger range of gamesI’d love to play a lot of games on my Mac, but sadly there just isn’t the range that there is for Windows. Can’t do any of things with Front Row (the Apple Remote is nice though).So there you have it. It also works with a mouse if you want it to. Windows Media Center does more than Front RowMedia Center lets you watch and record live TV and/or radio (with a suitable card), and you can do a lot more thanks to plugins. Why Arent There More Games For The Mac With AnI’m in the UK and Mac doesn’t really support the UK keyboard! I have a so called Mac UK keyboard but it has several keys missing. I have to say, the Mac is not the amazing wonder computer I’d heard people talk about although there are some nice things about it.1. Compare the price of an average mac with an average pc…I’ve been using a Mac for about a year now after using mainly Linux but also pleanty of Windoze in the past. □On Friday, December 12th, 2008 at 5:29 pm and is filed under Cult of Mac, Mac OS, Windows.You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed.Both comments and pings are currently closed.67 Responses to “10 ways that Windows is better than Mac OS”Also I’d like to add, that number 3 is probably the most important. I have a MacPro with 16Gb of RAM and 8 cores. I have 3 monitors, WTF would I want to navigate over 3 screens just to get to the menu bar for the application I’m using!!!!4. How come I can’t just type into finder to navigate to a particular file! Even brain dead windows can do that.3. Even with Full keyboard access the Mac is seriously weak on keyboard navigation. I’m a programmer and I like navigating by typing because it’s so much faster and I work super fast. That’s all very well except that # (called the hash key in the UK) is damned important in the UK too!!2. It’s as pretty and graceful as Mac these days. It’s significantly more secure (since the guys at Apple replaced OS9 with something based on FreeBSD Unix (a very secure operating system).However, for me Mac and Windows both play second fiddle to Linux which is far and away my favorite operating system. It is less inclined to constantly irritate the user with messages3. It’s prettier (although not as pretty as the new Ubuntu Linux 9.04)2. Free mac os cleaner rated by macworldIt’s human nature, we all want people to know how smart we I’ve got both XP (not Vista as my PC came with XP and I just can’t be bothered to update it, its working fine in XP (if it ain’t broke don’t fix it)) and an iMac (which has a few problems and I may need to get it replaced, dead pixel, buzzing fan and a possibly DD on the way out and its only 4 weeks old…Must of got a bad one T_T)Even so I know the differences between them and I know that each one has advantages over the other. PC :: Will my next computer be a Mac? | K's Weblog Says: and Markets Both Windows and Mac enthusiasts love to evangelize about their platform of choice. Where other operating systems would just have an extra feature which would do what I want.Summary, Macs are great for kids and beginners, not so good for professionals. It so often forces me into the grind of massive numbers of mouse clicks to get things done. (Try changing the apple logo in the menu bar into your company logo or adding the most powerful graphics card in the market into a mac)Technical Support… especially in Remote places like mine in India where the nearest apple store is thousand miles away and windows / PC support is two blocks away…Media center and gaming …. Drop it after warranty period then you can pretty much buy a new one rather than repairing it) – Try an IBM laptop in this matter.Extended warranty is too costly… (compare with hp, dell or IBM)The moment you think of upgrading, forget about affordability… ( Things are going forward rapidly these days who wants to get stuck into a older configuration?)Unfair price difference in most countries (India, China etc.,)One same model for everyone? Which self respecting person will spend a lot on a gadget which looks exactly same as million’s (I stopped thinking about mac when people around me started buying mac)… if you think mac is sexy then go see adamo by dell, voo doo by HPMore flexible as a OS ( I mean only OS not all the software packages included, for that matter even finder and explorer are applications )Customizable….
