Maybe if they had a path to get to all applications from the Apple menu or something. It just isn’t as clean as always having your happy little Start button just sitting there waiting for you. If you have another application active, then no Finder menu bar. There is the menu system on Finder that gets to most things, but you have to have Finder up. Is it in Applications? Applications->Utilities? Developer? Somewhere else? Having to browse them in ‘explorer’ fashion vs. When I want to find the TextEdit tool, or the screen grabber, or the equivalent of MSPaint (is there one?), it isn’t easy to find. Finder is a great search tool, but is still kind of ‘techie’. I’ve had Unix experience (albeit many many years ago), and I have trouble finding my applications. On Windows, you don’t get that initial wow factor.īut, for the average Joe, the Start button and menu system makes WAY more sense. Apple did really well there, finding and getting into most of the ‘important’ pre-installed applications is quick, easy, painless, and graphically pleasing. I think for anything that comes installed on the Dock, it is a beautiful thing. OSX just hasn’t done enough to hide its ‘Unixness’ from the user. So after some usage time now, I’ve decided that the whole ‘Start’ menu thing, as much as it gets made fun of, was really a good way to go.
