Hmm looks familiar xD Linux have been doing this for ages :D I recall having at least 16 workspaces, and even more :D (I think I could have up to 32 workspaces xD)
I have windows. I don't even need t his because I get this nice bar on the bottom of my screen telling me what I have open and will kindly give me a preview of all minimized windows should I roll over it. The mac does no such thing, necessitating "spaces".
@flsgflsg Macs targeting demographic, people with no brain cells who do not know the meaning of "Money saving" and who are easily distracted by shiny objects and or bright flashing lights.
"and hum yea tell me how many times your precious windows freezes or gets viruses?"
last time i got a virus was more than 10 years ago. as for windows freezing, i do recall that everytime a program on my friend's mac freezes, it takes everything down w/ it, precious time spent on the project: wasted.
"pay for antivirus programs"
yup, i pay to use facebook/mypsace/gmail/google/youtube too, $10/month per service.
The dock is handy as hell. I have mine set up to only show the programs open on that particular desktop, but a left corner gesture shows all windows from all desktops. extremely good for prying eyes when your looking at... stock quotes and other things that don't involve nonporn. just have said things on desktop 69 and you still have 98 other destops for productivity! hooray for CF!
hasn't this already been done on windows before? the desktop cube thing? or u could jst window + tab.. or even older still.. alt + tab.. does exactly the same thing.. jst less hassle
The name "Spaces" means to organize your windows. Mac OS has a task bar, its called a dock. For example, your doing a project with lots of images, websites, some video editing. Spaces organize your windows into different screens and makes working more efficient. Taskbar only manages windows. Trust me, it's a handy little thing to have when your boss leaves...just flip to a space with facebook open, then flip back! :)
i have an iMac. I'm writing this on it right now. I know what the dock is, and it is not the same as a task bar.
On windows, you just click minimise on WHATEVER you're doing and it's right down there for you to pick up from where you left off.
On a Mac they have pointless features like this whereby all your windows exist in limbo. I love my Mac, but i wish they'd just bite the bullet and put some of the better windows features in there rather than trying so hard to be different.
docs only have applications. you probably thought i was comparing it to the Start menu, which is pretty much the same as a doc. the taskbar is different.
when you minimize a window, there is a new icon on the dock separated by a white line. So the dock has applications on left side and windows minimized on the right side.
Time Machine doesn't run all the time, it backs up periodically according to what you prefer. It runs in the background automatically, it does it in a way that doesn't affect performance and feels invisible. Time Machine comes standard with all Macs, desktop cube must be installed on Windows.
If it is a program background or not, it has to use system resources thereby effecting performance whether you notice it or not. Second Installing a program is much more justified than spending even more money on more hardware to run a program that will not even allow you to use it. Would you buy a $200 suit to round out your wardrobe if you could never use it? Third, Out Of The Box is just that, open, plug, enjoy! Not open, plug, buy, plug, install, config enjoy. Fourth, compiz is better.
That is so new and awesome! I have never seen anything like that before, except on every single linux distro I've ever seen. Why does mac repackage everything and pretend it's new?
Macfags sure love to point out how great macs are "out of the box" because there isn't much for macs outside the box all the important programs are either PC-exclusive or mac gets a shitty port. Got 64bit Photoshop yet? didn't think so lol. Oh yea I forgot you got bootcamp now so you can enjoy all the programs and games we do as well as your overpriced and underpowered hardware lets you. Wait what was the point to buy mac if you have to pay for windows anyway?
heyy hater! can u even use a mac? are sure u want to compare windows and mac on photo or movie program editing? and hum yea tell me how many times your precious windows freezes or gets viruses? dont tell me u never pushed ctrl+alt+del now... ur right its maybe overpriced...but its prettier! and less frustrating and as long as i dont spend extra money every year to fix my pc now and then or pay for antivirus programs im fine:)
Ehh, Windows Vista has pretty much the same thing out of the box. its called "Window Switcher" and you can scroll through it with your mouse, arrows or whatever, also Windows has the "Alt+Tab" which will switch between any windows you have and give you a preview if you dont want to click. no setting up o turning on required =]
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
1 reason y i switched to mac os :P. I dun have any problems with windows XP but i have a serious issue with VISTA. Ever since vista came out, i just cant stand it anymore, when 7 comes out then ill see how it is.
But nice vid btw, i liked the music that went with it ;)
i've got windows 7 RC 7100 and its awesome. Is got some hack- i mean mac like features but their improved. It also really squeezes the bang for your buck out of ur hardware.
um yeah i believe you can you just have to configure or something, but you can always use a PC mouse so not that big deal if you need to configure the normal one
Whats money got to do with anything you dumbcunt. If i want to pay for a shiity as Mac paperweight I would, but I don't need a piece of shit that doesn't do me anygood.
macs are state of the art in performance and design which is why they cost more than pc's... anything a pc can do a mac can do too... but not everything a mac can do a pc can do... obviously you don't know shit about computers dumbass, now go finish your hot pocket in your trailer...
Can a Mac play games other than lame ass puzzle games? Quit your douchebaggery and stop being a fanboy. And I love the shit where you can only think of 'white trash' as an insult. Go back to school you fucking 6 year old.
i don't play computer games, i'm not a gamer fag, i hang out with friends in real life rather than sitting at a desk playing halo and socom like your bitch ass...
is it really stereotypical if it's true...? and i'm not the lame ass who went and watched a mac video just to make a hater comment that isn't even true... your dumbass did not even know that you could right click on a mac, noob...
Yes it is stereotypical if it's not true. The only reason I watched this video because it was on my featured list, so why not take a look?
Then I comment and you get all fanboy saying it can right-click and has "zoom" like I give two shits what it can do. Just shut your mouth before you make yourself look more and more like a douchebag
You're the one that made the false comment. Macs can't run EVERYTHING a windows pc can.
Don't say something like boot camp cause not only does that consume more ram than straight up running it doesn't run EVERYTHING to its full potential. Besides the Mac is pretty much just windows with extra freeware and a cleaner look.
They're completely different even in the programming sense. Mac uses a UNIX core, and windows doesn't.
Bootcamp is the same as your windows. We can completely replicate windows, so I don't know where your comment about RAM and not-full-potential is coming from. Basically: Yes, we can run EVERYTHING a windows PC can.
Mac is not windows with extra freeware and a cleaner look, why would you say that? Thats like saying Linux is windows just harder to use.
However Windows users can create a Hackintosh install and run everything Mac users can. So it really comes down to how much extra shit you want to install for a couple of apps.
First of all, Hackintosh is illegal. Macs are the only computers than can run Windows, Mac, and Linux legally. Second of all Bootcamp can run both Windows and Mac OS X at the same time. Swapping is a simple reboot.
First of all, Boot Camp is nothing more than a boot loader, period nothing special at all. Any OS can be loaded with one. Second who cares about legality, certainly not Apple who is in court now with Nokia. Besides everyone who has done a hackintosh install does it for evaluation purposes, instead of going out to buy a $2000+ PC with a different os. Third name one original MAC idea that no other os can do, or has done. Or one piece of software that has no mainstream equivalent for PC.
@ aYummyPie : LInux/Unix has them, WinXp has several that can even support Vista. Hell the taskbar in win 7 is even better(although the rest sucks). BTW Compiz FTW!!
You miss the point. A poster below said that people buy Windows for the things they can add to it, which makes sense when it's put into that perspective. I believe Windows should come with more out of the box, but Microsoft makes more money selling individual components, so that's the way they choose to do it.
Well, fortunately. The only way you can prove mac is better. Is by saying out of the box, well guess what! We all customize our pcs after a while! :D Noone uses there computer how they got it!
Some people may find this usefull, but i am sorry, i hate spaces. i find it so pointless. But even more so i find it annoying, in the long run it is more of a hassle because I lose track of what is in what space, and takes me longer to navigate through all them to find what i am looking for. Honestly the taskbar at the bottom of windows is a perfect system: I can see everything i have open and can navigate through them with a single click.
Ya, but i cant just see from the dock all the programs i have running and switch through them, its got all the programs i could use, or to the right itll hold open programs, but they exist in one spot or the other, so i can still lose track of things easily. Mac OS i find is just flash over function, making things needlessly complicated.
which one is expose again? (I owned a imac for about 3 months before i got fed up and sold it) is it when all the programs open are all sized so they can be shown at once? and if so, i couldnt stand that because i didnt have a track pad i had the one button mouse so instead expose was set up to appear when i pointed the mouse to the left corner of the screen... which i found annoying because it would do it when i didnt want it to and not when i did.
Cuz then, you can organize stuff depending on what you do easier. Typing and data that is related (research) can be in one while you can get everything ready (videos, games, etc...) for after you finish.
What multiple desktops? They were seen as useless until recently. Check wikipedia or read up on Xerox. They had multiple desktops back in the 80s dude.
What a worthless feature. Even if I valued it so much, I can find plenty of Linux builds with this built right in that are open source, cost nothing, and run on that same IBM PC that Windows does.
I must admit. I like using a dock. Good thing Windows has Rocketdock but alas, that's not "out of the box!"
Hmmm tricky. You really can't do this on Windows - oh wait, minimising and maximising. I can maximise one window, minimise it so it takes up no space on the screen, then maximise a different window. You know what? Might try one of those game things as well, alien as they are to mac users.
Sure, it's a "nice feature", but to be honest, I only put the stuff I regulary use on the desktop, and switching between desktops to find them wouldn't be really needed. Also, you can sort stuff in folders.
Looks rather poor compared to the x-window systems with KDE running. But I'm willing to blame it on the fact, that macos x has good designers but bad developers
I've used multiple desktops on Linux, and in my experience it only makes things more difficult and confusing. If someone could just get multiple desktops right, I might give it a second look. No one, not even Apple (who I would admittedly put high on the list) has done so as of yet. Not to my knowledge.
Maybe it works for some people, but having all my applications and folders spread across four different views and not being able to see all of my stuff at once at any given moment drives me nuts. I would rather just have four physical monitors, although that would obviously be the more expensive option... well, stuff is getting cheaper, so maybe one day that dream will become reality. Or better yet, one long curved screen that goes around me. That would be really nice. =]
I have to agree with TC here - it's not for everyone. If you're accustomed to using multiple desktops, then it'll be a breeze. Otherwise it's hell on Earth.
dude they didnt copy ubuntu linux. a software for linux that is called compiz fusion lets you do the multiple desktop things so dont go around saying that ubuntu copyed mac =o
so please don't say that you can do it on a Windows machine using some fancy third-party applications! please... but does windows come with this? NO! point made
its dumb he is saying not to talk about 3rd pary. well nobody buys a windows system for the very few features that come with it. then whats the point. ppl buy windows for the 3rd party. people use windows because they can put stuff in it. essentially spaces is 3rd party only its included. its like a package deal at a restaurant. your still paying for the food its just together
spaces is pretty stupid (more clicks or buttons to switch apps) the best thing about switching apps is expose (when it shows all open windows). I know vista has areo but the mac ver. is wayyyyyy better!
Windows has this its called the start bar...

And then you have the dock in OS X which is basically a taskbar.
JamesManes 2 years ago
Ya, but i cant just see from the dock all the programs i have running and switch through them, its got all the programs i could use, or to the right itll hold open programs, but they exist in one spot or the other, so i can still lose track of things easily. Mac OS i find is just flash over function, making things needlessly complicated.
JIPALIG 2 years ago
You use Expose to switch programs not the dock. 4 fingers swiped down on the trackpad activates it
JamesManes 2 years ago
which one is expose again? (I owned a imac for about 3 months before i got fed up and sold it) is it when all the programs open are all sized so they can be shown at once? and if so, i couldnt stand that because i didnt have a track pad i had the one button mouse so instead expose was set up to appear when i pointed the mouse to the left corner of the screen... which i found annoying because it would do it when i didnt want it to and not when i did.
JIPALIG 2 years ago
It is where the programs spread out. You don't have to set it to the left corner of screen.
JamesManes 2 years ago
you have to press F9. you can go to system preferences and change it to not open when you mouse over the corner.

Cuz then, you can organize stuff depending on what you do easier. Typing and data that is related (research) can be in one while you can get everything ready (videos, games, etc...) for after you finish.

This was stolen off of Linux. Even without Compiz Fusion Linux still does this. Puppy Linux, a 100MB operating system, is capable of doing this.

idiot. Xerox made virtual desktops in 1986 before linux was made. wiki it fool
JamesManes 2 years ago
Thats right, thumb me down because you can't handle the truth. Linux is not original, they STOLE yes STOLE virtual desktops.
JamesManes 2 years ago
Apple stole the GUI from Xerox, where it was subsequently stolen by Microsoft. Watch Pirates Of Silicon Valley if you don't believe me.
That said, Jobs used some of the things he learned by walking into random lectures to improve the GUI beyond what Xerox could ever have done.
Besides, if it was in Xerox's GUI, how come it's taken so long to appear in MacOS? Explain that.
frank1985au 2 years ago
What multiple desktops? They were seen as useless until recently. Check wikipedia or read up on Xerox. They had multiple desktops back in the 80s dude.
JamesManes 2 years ago
What a worthless feature. Even if I valued it so much, I can find plenty of Linux builds with this built right in that are open source, cost nothing, and run on that same IBM PC that Windows does.
I must admit. I like using a dock. Good thing Windows has Rocketdock but alas, that's not "out of the box!"

Hmmm tricky. You really can't do this on Windows - oh wait, minimising and maximising. I can maximise one window, minimise it so it takes up no space on the screen, then maximise a different window. You know what? Might try one of those game things as well, alien as they are to mac users.

455Dan554 3 years ago
Sure, it's a "nice feature", but to be honest, I only put the stuff I regulary use on the desktop, and switching between desktops to find them wouldn't be really needed. Also, you can sort stuff in folders.

I've used multiple desktops on Linux, and in my experience it only makes things more difficult and confusing. If someone could just get multiple desktops right, I might give it a second look. No one, not even Apple (who I would admittedly put high on the list) has done so as of yet. Not to my knowledge.
TherapudicCaffeine 3 years ago
I am using multiple desktops every day. What's so difficult about using them? Another keyboard tab shortcut and you're getting more organized.
AnonymousPL 3 years ago
Maybe it works for some people, but having all my applications and folders spread across four different views and not being able to see all of my stuff at once at any given moment drives me nuts. I would rather just have four physical monitors, although that would obviously be the more expensive option... well, stuff is getting cheaper, so maybe one day that dream will become reality. Or better yet, one long curved screen that goes around me. That would be really nice. =]
TherapudicCaffeine 3 years ago
I have to agree with TC here - it's not for everyone. If you're accustomed to using multiple desktops, then it'll be a breeze. Otherwise it's hell on Earth.

So it's a multi-windowed version of the taskbar? wow, how pointless. You can achieve something like this by using multiple desktop mods for windows.
Jirekianu 3 years ago
so please don't say that you can do it on a Windows machine using some fancy third-party applications! please... but does windows come with this? NO! point made
lachcik5084 3 years ago
And the point of it is..?
It would be more logical to just minimize the programs you aren't using at that particular moment...
Another pointless feature that Mac is oh so happy to implement to appease their gullible audience.

its dumb he is saying not to talk about 3rd pary. well nobody buys a windows system for the very few features that come with it. then whats the point. ppl buy windows for the 3rd party. people use windows because they can put stuff in it. essentially spaces is 3rd party only its included. its like a package deal at a restaurant. your still paying for the food its just together

there is 3rd pary software for pc that lets you have multiple desktops too and it has a 3d cube animation to switch between them. this isnt special.

spaces is pretty stupid (more clicks or buttons to switch apps) the best thing about switching apps is expose (when it shows all open windows). I know vista has areo but the mac ver. is wayyyyyy better!
