> we Windows users take a certain amount of pride in

I'm sick of this meme. The browser is NOT AN OPERATING SYSTEM. I am NOT going to store all my data "in the cloud". Web apps continue to SUCK. Google's being awfully presumptuous here.

I utterly loathe the Ribbon. It takes longer than ever to find anything and when you do, don't dare resize the window cos the buttons will just jump around to a different location anyway (or disappear). And nobody asked me if I wanted a giant ugly pasteboard in the upper left of every window. The Ribbon's gradual…

The lists should be split by platform. Otherwise, wonderful Mac apps like Adium (IMHO the best chat program, on any platform), Transmission (ditto for a BitTorrent client), and LaunchBar (ditto for a launcher) do not get the recognition they deserve. Great applications come down to more than just the number of users,…

@nomadwolf: Same here. I'm fiercely protective of my genre choices and there's no way I am going to default them to somebody else's choices. (I once ported my library to WMP and just that happened - I was furious.) That said, genius works fine for me. I don't mind if something doesn't "fit" - I like somewhat eccentric…

I was never able to get Azureus to work properly. I am happy with Transmission on the Mac and uTorrent on Windows. I used to use Xtorrent on the Mac but the developer is kind of shifty so it's hard to support it any more.

Yep, here in America I don't know anyone who uses MSN Messenger either. But with more and more multi-protocol clients it doesn't really matter so much (at least, if you're just doing text).

I use it on both Mac and Vista and I was always disappointed at how lame the GUI was on Windows (no full screen controller, no keyboard shortcuts...). The Mac UI was already much nicer - perhaps it didn't need an update.

@Zennalathas: Yes, running on Mac. Installed v8. Activated Genius. Took about 45 mins with 12,000 tracks. Check RAM, was pretty high at around 600MB. Quit iTunes. Relaunched - steady at 60MB. Maybe there's a leak in there which can be addressed with a patch; but this incessant whining about RAM is just ridiculous. If…

I've been using "ToDoList" at work, which focuses more on splitting tasks into subtasks, which is exactly what I needed. But this looks neat too.

Genius seems neat. Don't need the sidebar links to the store. All the complaints here are either wrong ("there's no combined list/album cover view") or petty ("too much RAM!"—I'm at 60MB here). Oh well, I guess it's cool to hate on Apple now.

@giblet: The current model works fine. Those of us who hate ads will continue to block them while the other 90% will continue to deal with the dancing pandas and the accidental clicks on porn sites. I view it just like TV advertising. Without Adblock or something similar, it's just like having your head clamped facing…

@Obsidian: If Windows and OS X ran the exact same applications, I would choose OS X hands-down for the features it brings to the OS that Windows is lacking and the "panache" with which it executes them. As it stands, I use both Vista and OS X and while there is some software unique to each platform, I find everyday…

Wow... I don't think I've ever seen buttons placed on little platforms or in little troughs like this.

@snrub: Most people are gamers, not game programmers or TransGaming employees. We can't "figure out" Cider—we have to wait for someone to add support for the games we want to play. And the games I want to play are definitely not the ones that are getting supported.

@bubi73: I LOVED Proxomitron, at least before Firefox & Adblock. I tried Privoxy a while ago, but I found it more difficult to use than Proxomitron was.

I was beat too.

I wonder why they're using a Mac keyboard to advertise a Windows-only program...

Keypass runs through X on the Mac. I think I'll stick with 1Password.
