What kinda things are you looking for? If you go into system preferences, you can see all the hand gestures, under trackpad settings.

Or you know, just use a program like Wine, or Parallels. Literally makes me want to rip my hair out the whole "Windows master race" bullshit.

Like commands and those transitions, shortcuts or any thing that helps when using it.

Or just install windows instead :P

 

It's not windows fault that they have a larger selection of software.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

i hate parallels. i had used OS X purely for an entire year, and much preferred quickly booting into native windows to run a quick windows native program, then quickly boot back into OSX

Parallels is nice if you have one application or so you need windows for

 

Otherwise just install windows :P But like a friend of mine only needed AutoTrace (http://autotrace.sourceforge.net/) for vector work on his mac, and he didn't want to install windows just to use it

 

So he got parallels, works out well for him

Or just use the free Virtualbox ...

 

And install windows virtually, taking up 30+GB of space for a 2mb application

well that definetly isn't the standard setting ?!

 

you could change it back in  keyboard > shortcuts > spotlight

Genius 

 

Installing windows in a dynamic virtual drive most certainly takes away less space, than a native installation.

Dude

 

With absolutely nothing installed we're still talking 20+ gigs of shit just sitting there, even with a dynamic virtual disk

 

My point was parallels works in his specific application better than virtualbox would have, god almighty calm your tits

Virtualbox is free. Parallels is not.

Guess that makes Virtualbox better ;)
