I'm buying an older Mac Pro soon (2008-2010 or so). It'll be my first Mac and I'll put Mavericks on it. Seeing as I've been a Windows user for over 20 years, this will be quite the change.
In Windows I'm used to setting up the start menu and control panel, applying registry edits, disabling certain hardware, and uninstalling/disabling 'services', as well as uninstalling/removing software that comes with Windows that I know I'll never use. Some more stuff as well.
I do all of that to speed things up and keep things tidy. I have no idea how to do this for a Mac. Is there some sort of guide out there, even one that's based on an older OS, that will show me a lot of tweaks for speed and workflow?
