While my company is a complete Microsoft shop when it comes to desktop OS'es and I will use Vista on my desktop PC at work quite soon, I don't think I'm going to switch back my private notebook any time soon. Vista didn't convince me at all and I'm still quite certain that there will be at least two new Mac OS versions before the next Windows version. I cannot wait that long for some definitely needed innovations... :)Hanno Schlichtinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02880767944793425548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19026079.post-9094704868936272562007-02-01T04:31:00.000+01:002007-02-01T04:31:00.000+01:00maybe check out <a href="http://www.helium.com/tm/105955/vista-ultimate-indication-might">Windows Vista</a> now that is is out in stores?andychttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12750599357331203907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19026079.post-84610160808291220202006-11-06T05:51:00.000+01:002006-11-06T05:51:00.000+01:00"One of us! One of us!"<br /><br />Macs are nice ;)<br /><br />I will strongly second Tom's advice to check out TextMate. I run <a href="http://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.html">LaunchBar</a> instead of Quicksilver though - this is the original adaptive app switcher program and was ported from NextStep, so it's got <i>heritage</i>.Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01720512194160561870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19026079.post-1153586384932040092006-07-22T18:39:00.000+02:002006-07-22T18:39:00.000+02:00Welcome to the Club ;-) And since you're adjusting to a new environment now, anyway, may I suggest the following two tools (that most mac-plonistas are using, too): <A HREF="http://quicksilver.blacktree.com/" REL="nofollow">Quicksilver</A> and <A HREF="http://macromates.com" REL="nofollow">TextMate</A>.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and for installing python2.4 (with readline support!) and other stuff such as PIL etc. there's just nothing better than <A HREF="http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/" REL="nofollow">Darwin Ports</A>!<BR/><BR/>But mostly -- as we say in Germany -- "Viel Spass am Geraet!" ;-)Tom Lazarhttp://tomster.org/blognoreply@blogger.com
