    Does anyone know of any websites, or books that talk about the history of the MacOS, or Apple for that matter? I'm new to all of this, and am finding it extremely interesting. Thanks, Jeremy

    Windows Knock-off

    You make some good points DJE, but to some extent, isn't windows just a mac clone? As for the dropshadow... you have to admit, it's a nice dropshadow.

    I'd just love to see apple, or any other developer, come up with some solutions for the "power user". If it's these suggestions, or others, it really doesn't matter. Time will only tell, I can only assume that a lot will change as future release come out.

    GUI Suggestions (screenshot)

    To some extent, I don't think that apple should change everything for the sake of just changing it. I love the dock, it's great, but why loose the apple menu? it doesn't make any sense to me. They're trying to make the dock do far too much, especially for power users. As far as I'm...

    I've been doing a lot of reading people's thoughts on OSX, and it's new interface. For the most part, I am quite happy with everything that Apple has done, but there are a couple of things that I personally feel should be addressed. I've begun to address these concerns at the link below...
