I was so impressed with the MacBook M3 Pro that my daughter had that I switched from Windows desktop and laptops to the Apple ecosystem. And I'm a veteran Microsoft user from the '90s!

Currently using a MacBook Air M4 and a Mac Mini M4.

I'm new to macOS, long time Windows dev. What I'm really missing is taskbar. A way to see, visually, that I have application running that are minimized and yet able to be positioned by sliding them around. Is there anything like this for macOS 15.7?

I've wanted to switch to Linux. May have to give it another go someday. Currently moving over to macOS. Will see how it goes.

I loved XP. However, one of the first things I would do is make it look like Win2k. :-)

pcunite — Fri, 04 Apr 2025 02:07:59 +0000

Its a grand conspiracy, really bad search makes you look at what they want you to see. I've wrote my search tool just to see what was so hard about it all.
