This is a mostly windows community, given the games that this community revolves around. However, there are a few in here like myself that prefer the sweetness of Apple. Anywho, Apple released new version of it's Unix based operating system, called OS X (10.4), otherwise known as Tiger. I've been so happy with it, I thought I'd post some pics to share with all, who might not otherwise be interested.
I decided to show some of OS X's more glaring features. Sorry, you'll have to scroll down to see the pics.
First is Exposé. Exposé is hard to explain, most people need to see it to understand. In any event, Exposé is designed to let users navigate a computer full of windows quickly and easily. By hitting the F9 key(like in the first pic) the system scales back all windows open on the computer to be selected usingyour mouse, or with the arrow keys. F10 does the same as F9, but is limited to the program you are currently in. F11 (the third pic) pushes all the windows open on the computer to the sides of the screen to give you instant active access to the desktop.
My favorite, the fourth pic, is Dashboard, which is at default F12. Dashboard holds mini programs for you to access quickly and easily without having to go through menus to find it and launch it. It's great for little things, such as finding recipes, checking the local weather, etc.
the final is Spotlight- the new search feature for OS X. I used the simplest form of spotlight which originates with a menus from the top right corner of the screen. Simply put, spotlight searches for items matching yourcriteria as you type (i.e. the more you type, the more items are whittled down until you find what you want) in you folders, programs on the computer, and even in your documents. In short, EVERYWHERE.
