I switched to mac a year ago, and as soon as i realized what the zoom button was supposed to do, it works perfectly for me. The first click resizes the window to show all content. The second click reverts to the previous size. If it was the correct size to begin with, then the first click shrinks the window down. If i have 5 files in a folder and i click the zoom button, the window shrinks to the right size for those 5 files. If i have 20 files, and click the zoom button, the window enlarges to fit them. I prefer it alot to the maximize button in windows. Its one thing to not like it, but its an outright lie to say it never works the way its supposed to.]]>Jun 4th 2008 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/04/apple-to-introduce-os-x-10-6-snow-leopard-at-wwdc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/04/apple-to-introduce-os-x-10-6-snow-leopard-at-wwdc/
This is the problem I have with Maximize in OS X. I like to make my Finder and Safari windows full screen, because I use hot corners in Expose and it's very easy and convenient to switch between the windows. When I hit maximize, it makes the window smaller, which is great, but if I zoom twice, the window expands vertically instead of filling up the entire screen, as I originally had it. That is annoying, but I understand where you're coming from. It's okay if you like the way it works.

It's not a major deal to me, but OS X is like having the greatest Banana Split Sunday in history, only to find there are a a couple of hairs in the ice cream. I'm still going to eat the Banana Split, because it's the greatest in history, but damn, if you can get rid of the hairs, I'd be happy too.

And I also like Smileypanda's suggestion about gaming. Apple needs a better gaming API or else needs to assist the OpenGL dev team. I should have put that on the list.

Your exactly right steve jobs needs to fireup his internet tonight and read this.

Yes, agreed, a tabbed Finder would be nice. Although my characterization of the Finder maximize, or at least some of it, appears to be wrong. The behavior I was refering to seems to be more of a characteristic of Safari than the Finder. The Finder maximizes like it's supposed to. I just tested both. Funny that's it's not consistent across the board though. Very puzzling.

Yes, especially with the brilliantly overpriced mac hardware.

And its not like Apple would make any of their software require the latest version of their OS to work, cough, Garage Band 08 and Leopard, cough.... I mean they already jumped hardware requirements from a G4 300Mhz to a G4 800+ Mhz from Tiger to Leopard.

By your logic, Vista is "essentially a service pack" for XP.]]>Jun 4th 2008 7:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/04/apple-to-introduce-os-x-10-6-snow-leopard-at-wwdc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/04/apple-to-introduce-os-x-10-6-snow-leopard-at-wwdc/
In saying that, the revisions of OSX can and should be considered OS releases, and not service packs. But i will say that 99 dollars for a few new features, and hundreds of very minor tweaks to the OS is a tad steep. Apple should offer upgrade versions of their OS which can install on top of previous OSX installs and a reduced price. Even Ubuntu offers more feature upgrades per release, and those are free.

And i dont think now is the time to be dropping the G4-G5 architecture, if this article proves to be true. Theres nothing like kicking Apple users in the balls and forcing them to upgrade their very expensive G5 PowerMac's to Intel variants just to get the security and performance upgrades (as well as some 100 more minor tweaks, such as an awesome Auto Zoom on the DVD player) that should have been included in Leopard to begin with, even though those PC's are still very capable.]]>Jun 4th 2008 7:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/04/apple-to-introduce-os-x-10-6-snow-leopard-at-wwdc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/04/apple-to-introduce-os-x-10-6-snow-leopard-at-wwdc/Jun 4th 2008 8:51PM
