Coming from Windows, what's outrageous about Finder, is that when I'm looking at a SMB share has is named the same as a local directory, it is very confusing as to which location is which. Scary. Like, show the full path! Not "Folder" at the top. Just crazy.

I was an Outlook user for nearly 20 years. Switch to macOS last year, and along with that went with Thunderbird. It does need some love, but grateful it existed. I like to look at my monthly calendar, open two events, and compare them. Sometimes, I like my monthly calendar visible all by itself, then I'll open emails to the far left or right, then maybe an event in the middle, or to the left.

In other words, I like them all as separate windows, while I compare websites, notes, on the phone, and then adding or editing all these things while talking to people too.

Making the Calendar view, an the list of emails as two separate windows would be amazing.

Thank you Thunderbird team!

Sysinternal tools have been around forever on Windows. Cool utilities that own very specific tasks. This is the first I've seen one developed for macOS!

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. :-)

Back in 1993, I would open up binary files in edit and enjoy seeing hearts.
