I used to think Mac was cool, but...

Honestly, is the "Dock" useful at all for anything besides launching applications? I suppose you can see which applications are open, sort of, but what if you have several instances of "Finder" or a web browser open (please God let it NOT be Safari)? Frankly, I think Windows has one-upped the Mac OS here. I've always liked the Windows "Taskbar" better, and I think they've really upped the ante here in Windows 7. The Windows taskbar accomplishes important things... First of all, it allows for a quick launching of applications (hence the now dead Windows QuickLaunch, or the Mac Dock). Then, it serves as a task manager, showing exactly which applications are open, and to what extent (or, how many browsers you have open, for example). You can mouse over a program to see exactly which windows are open (and the screen will highlight those). The floaty dock in Mac OS (if you configure it that way) is pretty, but ultimately not very helpful. "Click and hold" to see something died out when they introduced the two-button mouse (burn, Mac, burn).  Remember that time I could instantly get a menu for other options in Windows with a right click? Remember that time when Mac was still going with the "hold the mouse button awhile and something might happen"? That leads me to my next gripe about the newest Mac OS...

Automatic restarting of programs. I don't know who thought of this, but I hate it. Remember when those stupid programs would install themselves in the Windows registry and also the Startup folder so every time your computer started, it would load them? So annoying. I deleted them every time. Now Mac is encouraging this. Of course, they're spinning it in their own direction. Computer had an unnecessary restart (probably because you were updating Safari)? We'll load everything you had going before, again! Great! Except for the times when it was a legitimate restart. Something went wrong, let's start over...And bring the exact same stuff up again! Needless to say, I've gotten stuck in some vicious restart loops because of this. I know, I know, there's a checkbox you can choose to prevent it from doing this. I clicked it. The computer still does it, sparingly. Sometimes my Twitter client will reopen. Sometimes Firefox. Somehow a program will automatically start, once again. There has to be a bug here, or some obscure setting... Anyways... That said, I composed this on a Mac.

Test.

Just getting used to Blogger. Probably will take a few more tests, too...
