OS X TCP/IP — #16
Ok, we'll just disagree on smb support in the OS. But, the unfortunate reality is that many people are facing the same situation as me.
Since Sambe is opnsrc, would the 'pretty…

That seems really shallow to say that standardization causes Macs to be tossed out on their asses. The Army uses Webstar - schools use the Mac - tons of colleges …

Well, I think the front-end would likely be written by a Cocoa developer who just got sick of not being able to do so without a front end.
I don't think that Carbon really has the…

Yesterday I read at the MacOS rumor site this:
Seamless networking between OS X and Windows with Consumer
Not only will Mac OS X consumer contain a complete SAMBA distribution (S…

i read that too. it tells me two things.
1. since samba volumes will be available through the network browser, there will be no need for 3rd party gui front-ends. network browser…

I'd just like to point out that the desktop metaphor is really just an OS hack on both the Windows and Mac sides. Obviously, files can't reside in some non-disk space (which the d…

It's this simple: The engineers working on the user interface for Windows and Mac OS X are power users. Unfortunately, they don't understand that most people who use Windows and Ma…

Yeah, that's obviously it. Apple developers just "forgot" who was using their products- they have obviously done no market research and have canned simplicity to make their jobs …

OS X has a desktop metaphor, but disks and drives do not mount on it. It is there. If you are familiar with NeXtstep/OpenStep, the desktop is essentially a shelf the covers the s…

Kudos to Orbit for understanding the value of an honest OS! I recently read that all one has to do to get to the root "computer" level is hit the big button in the finder window, …

Why thank you! Just thought of something else... as it stands right now, the desktop metaphor in both Windows and Mac OS is flawed in this way: if your desktop is cluttered (as I …

Actually I did, but it was on my work computer- behavior wasn't working right for keep arranged by name even though it was selected. I tried it on my own computer, and I see what …

Why did you choose the MacOS in the first place? Its ease of use, its power, its appearance, and something that you just can't put your finger on.
As for the ease of use, that is t…

No, YOU got the wrong impression. Nobody is saying that they got rid of the desktop- on the contrary, the desktop is still there but its behavior is, necessarily, changed a bit. …

Hi,
My boss when to a retreat where Macs were used to write a report. All the Windows users were lost. They had no idea how to use the Mac UI.
I think it's a over statement tha…

From what I have seen, the desktop as we know it is dead in OS X.
And how the hell am I supposed to use it for a day or two? DEVELOPERS PREVIEW versions are out - I may be a progra…

Okay... I would like everyone who has gripes about the UI in OS X, as it stands, to promptly shut up about it. Used the prototype interface? Great! Have a suggestion about new …
