    And now for Something Completely Different.

    Windows Vista vs. Ubuntu Linux Beryl, with a techno soundtrack:

    Interesting that they don't bring Mac into the fray.

    (If SketchUp ran on Linux, I would be so "outa here" with Windows.

      I was not that keen on Mac Finder either BUT I found
      Macintosh Explorer, works a treat

      mike,

      is it shareware, freeware or what? i am so used to the finder that I cannot really see in which way any explorer-type app ca be better. could you just give me an example?

      regards.

      Hi Edson,

      After jumping into OSX I must admit I missed some of the
      'old ways'. I have however located quite a few Mac programs
      and utilities that helped to ease the transition and Mac
      Explorer is one of them. At €15 I think its good value.

      The Rage Site explains the features of Mac Explorer far better
      than I could, so I'd suggest that you have a quick look. The
      link is here, http://www.ragesw.com/products/explorer.html

      Another utility that I'm using permanently is Sticky Windows.
      This utility allows me to 'grab' a program window and 'slap'
      it to the edge of the screen. It sticks there as a tab !
      I think this is a better alternative to the 'Dock' as I like
      to leave the dock clean, just to be used for programs. You can
      check out Sticky Windows at
      http://www.donelleschi.com/stickywindows/ BTW this firm does
      a few other useful little utilities, Cunning Fox being one of
      them.

      Mike

        Well after much harrasment I've got SU and a few other programs working on Vista. ACAD is a non starter though. I have to say though there are a few useful tools in Vista but not many.

          I had to right click the ACAD icon and set it to run in compatibility mode (WinXP) and with Admin. rights to get Acad-07 to run in Vista. It really only took a few minutes on the AutoCAD site to find out how. What version are you running?

            Architectural Desktop 2005 but I'm thinking about buying Allplan by Nemetschek rather than AutoCAD 2008. Check Allplan out, I've seen it demonstrated, amazing
