I’ve been a PC my whole life, but have always harbored a secretMacenvy.
There are a ton of advantages to Windows, but Macs have recently tickled my fancy.
No nagging menus, for a start.
But all that existed already.
The Windows 7 taskbar added a bunch of useful features and tweaks to make iteven more useful.
When an utility is running, you’ll see a square around the icon in the taskbar.
nudge the icon, and you’re taken to the system’s window.
Launching a new window is easy, too - just hold Shift as you’re clicking on the icon.
And that’s not all.
Roll over a thumbnail, and you’ll see the window, full-size, with everything else transparent.
I used Quick Launch on Windows for a long time to launch apps, and the taskbar to switch.
It was clunky, slow, and difficult to maneuver if I had a lot of apps open.
With the new taskbar, opening, closing, switching and managing windows and applications is a breeze.
Forget all the other stuff - that’s worth the upgrade right there.
