Heh, you can right click perfectly fine in OS X, and it looks like you can even build xnu if you want http://shantonu.blogspot.com/2009... but it doesn't like it's for the faint of heart.

@Victor -- How do you right click (aside from pressing "Control")? I hate having to "two hand" when using the boyfriend's MacBook.
- Miss Elle
Ah, yes, that could definitely be a problem with the trackpad, which I'm not overly fond of anyway. I actually use a Bluetooth Logitech mouse with my MacBook.
- Victor Ganata
Miss Elle, there should be an option under System Preferences > Trackpad that allows you to do a two finger tap on the trackpad to register as a right click. Or, if it's an older macbook that has the one button, you should be able to keep a finger (or two?) on the trackpad part and click the button, iirc.

I would always be a Windows person, I guess. Not because I am uncomfortable with KDEs and command lines, but WIndows got the icon idea, windows, maximize, minimize, etc. right first.

Switch hitter, I'm a Mac on my desk, Windows mostly for games, Linux for server stuff and serious code. I believe in... whatever works... not so much in the religion.

PC. Flexibility, Cost, Applications(not having to wait for ports), gaming, and control over hardware.

Both....or neither. I was a Linux guy for almost a decade. Moms got me an XP laptop a few years ago, which is still my primary, but I have a Mac in the studio. I have no allegiance to any OS, though. Most of what I do is inside the browser (except in the studio, but a PC runs Pro Tools just fine).

PC - Windows and Linux (SimplyMepis). They should add a *ChromeOS guy* to the picture:)

I'm Adi. No, wait... I am PC (Flexibility, Cost, Applications(not having to wait for ports), gaming, and control over hardware). But I just might buy my next laptop from apple, because they pack good hardware nicely. And then I'll put Windows 7 on it.

Used both systems for 20 years. Each has its function, though time has shown me more uptime and lower cost of ownership for Mac. We have an entire department, read priesthood, set up to take care of Windows (mostly security issues;) all Mac people take care of their own needs. When I buy for home use, it's all Mac.
- Phil Boiarski
Mac for the last 6 years. Because I work in graphic design, video and photography. When I used to do a lot of database work a PC was better for me, but now I will only use a PC if I need to do rare database stuff or help a client. However I do like John Hodgman better!!!!

where's "Linux PC", in a blue-collar apparel carrying a wrench? :)

Mac, because I got fed up with Windows at 3.0

Mac, because it's the best way to run unix. (both in terms of hardware and GUI)

I'm a computer user - Apples, Acorns, Spectrums, Ataris, Amigas, home built PC's with any OS I want... I don't blinker myself to the possibilities. And to those whose windows installs appear to be the opposite of OSX in that they don't "just work", may I suggest that the problem isn't always with the OS ;) My windows installs last me years between reinstalls (usually because I've bought and built an entire new system) without slowing down or creaking under the strain. *shrug* Get your learn on before you declare where the problem resides ;P

oh, and for right click on a macbook, you can set the corner of the touchpad up as your right click.. no need for even 2 finger clicking. Tho, I do have to ask as to how you can record the audio from an application using audacity... the ability to select the stereo mixer doesn't exist and I have to resort to my windows machine in order to grab the audio.
- alphaxion
I'm more of both really. PC for gaming on Steam, Mac for editing, and whatever work I can do on both.
