OS X has features different from Windows such as moving to another desktop background. All the desktop icons wilk still be there but the previous background will have open windows and you can open even more windows there. However, using the keyboard to copy and paste is a change from simply right-clicking.


Um...Windows allows you to change your desktop background, and copy and paste using the keyboard.


He doesn't it that way, he's talking about being able to add more 'Desktop' pages.

Well, he still was wrong that Windows and Mac had any difference in copy and pasting files. You can use the keyboard or right click on both of them.

Well I have a MacBook Pro and the touchpad apparently does not use right clicking or left clicking.

However, I just like a Mac because... I just enjoy using it. That's all. Maybe it is because the GUI interface looks cool to me.

All recent MacBook Pros let you right click on the touchpad. You can do it by either clicking with 2 fingers or clicking in a specified corner of the trackpad (what action is used for a right click can be changed in System Preferences). On all MacBook Pros, you can right click by pressing Ctrl and clicking.

I should really investigate my MacBook Pro more! I have already discovered a lot about my iPhone that I am almost an expert. There are still quite a few pre-installed programs on my MacBook I have not yet used.

MacBooks come with so much preinstalled shit. I don't think I've even used 1/4 of all of them. As soon as I open Safari, I download better programs.

I have noticed that many desktop Macs are moniters with a CPU already built in, like a Smart TV. Only time I saw that with another hardware. I forget what company it was but its OS is Windows.

Another thing, has anyone here ever used a really old Mac like the very first one? If so, what was it like? I have only used modern Macs.

All companies have all-in-one computers. Mac is not the only time.

I had one in my closet that has mysteriously disappeared. It's not very different interface-wise from the newer ones.

It has, but most of the stuff is unnoticeable. The interface has naturally evolved but the core functionality remains very similar.

Uhh... Mac doesn't support a lot of things like exes and stuff. Without these type of files my computer is basically a tablet.

TBH, the only .exe programs I need to use Parallels for are BrawlBox, SZS Modifier, and Whitehole (because there's a display error on OS X). Most Windows software either has a OSX version available or has an equivalent.

Well, you may not use many .exe's. For someone like me, its impossible to not use .exe's. Mac is basically a tablet, like ssl said.
So many games dont work on mac its crazy. Even Linux is getting mire support for games than OSX.

Can't argue with the thing about games. But Windows 8 is designed to work with tablets, OSX isn't. That makes it more of a tablet operating system. Please specify what you meant by "basically a tablet"?

An android tablet can do the same and more than OSX. And Windows can run many other programs, not only executables, there are many more, which are not on android or osx.
And by the way, heres a fact for ya:
Windows 8 RT cannot run .exe's. All other versions of windows can run .exe's. So Windows 8 RT is the one made for tablets, not Windows 8 in general. All Windows 8 did is make the UI more Tablet friendly, but its not near close to a tablet. Its just the good'old windows for pc with added tablet features.

All entirely true, but I still don't understand how a desktop operating system can be compared to a tablet.
