Maybe they will release a foobar like app for OSX one day. I will never be a Fan of iTunes and would really wish they would over something more customizable. The nice grid view also disapeared where you had Artists, Genre and Albums in a small scroll box and the title in the big one. Now there are only those ridiculous views.
It does work a whole lot faster now though. The corei5 is clearly faster and there is enough RAM so I don't worry about how much it might use.
I don't need to do a lot of file management and Finder works well enough. I need a better NTFS driver though, as the current one it seems has only read abilities. There are freeware unix NTFS drivers why can't Apple use them.
I also need to figure out some stuff small issues that just don't work for me the way they do. I need my 4 Mouse button to act as middle click in my intelli microsoft mouse. Because my middle click is too hard to press. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this. I guess I have to somehow set it to be mouse button # 3 and handled by OSX. No clue how.
I also don't understand why the 3 finger swipe doesn't work in Opera. But that is a minor problem as I prefer tiptap anyway. I am used to that from operas mouse gestures where you could for years now use both mouse keys in tip tap fashion to move forward and backward.
And Word 2008 keeps crashing but it is not licensed yet and I guess I will go for 2011 because I like the Office 2007 fluent UI much more.
Also Shift+del doesn't work. In Windows backspace + shift is the same as the del key. Why doesn't it work in OSX.
I also hardly ever minimize apps but I hate to go to the tiny red x to close them. How can I make the double click on the title bar close the window. I know it doesn't close the app.
In total I am getting used to OSX but it will take some time till everything works as it should. The only annoying things I really have to live with is the sharp edge and that I always have to switch OS for a little short game. Are there any older first person shooters that work well in OSX??. I still have Quake 3 and as an Open GL game it could work but I don't think I can simply run it from OSX.
Or which action/RTS games work well in a virtual machine?? I read there is some hardware acceleration now and older games might run.
