My Windows “Start” menu and my Mac “Applications” folder look like this: Which maps nicely onto PCs, Macs, and services. Since Windows uses shortcuts (“aliases” in OS X, “links” in Linux) for the Start menu, I can reorganize them to my heart’s content. But because OS X uses the actual applications (not shortcuts), I can only organize some applications into their appropriate folders. Some OS X applications object to being moved from their default location and will break if you move them. This includes Apple and third-party applications.

So this is one area where Windows is superior to OS X.

I do not intend this to be a Macintosh-vs-Windows (or Windows-vs-Macintosh) article, but I will review software from each OS in each category. I use both OS X and Windows XP daily, rely on both, and prefer each for some tasks. I am interested in trends across operating systems. And I am interested in software that works in both operating systems. Software that also works in Linux is a plus, but I’ve pretty much given up on Linux on the desktop: too many distros, too few standards, not enough of the software that I need. I have, however, indicated my *favorite applications in each category by including an asterisk (*) next to the filename. Note that there are some essential applications (such as QuickBooks) that are not my favorites. I intend for this to be my last Windows operating system.

Running Windows Update only annually also helps keep Windows XP relatively stable. Microsoft should do what Apple did with OS X: rebuild it from scratch on top of a stable UNIX operating system. Windows Vista is bloatware, emphasizing form over function. In April 2007, Microsoft announced that Windows XP was going to be retired in January 2008. In September 2007, I purchased 5 boxed copies of Windows XP. *Windows Explorer does, however, do a good job at lots of things that matter to me: tiling windows (which I do hundreds of times per week), maximizing windows, navigating windows (the lack of a “parent folder” icon in OS X is maddening), finding files.īut Windows Explorer is about the only thing I really like about Windows XP.

To deal with all of these problems, I run a series of schedules tasks: I have to wrestle daily with deleting temporary files, cleaning registry entries, sweeping for viruses and spyware, defragmenting disks, and dealing with memory leaks.

Every day at 01:00, I run Window Washer to delete temporary files.

"C:\Program Files\Webroot\Washer\SchdWash.exe"

Every day at 02:00, I run Registry Mechanic to fix broken registry entries.

Every day at 03:00, I run MozyPro to backup my “Documents and Settings” directory.

This cannot be setup as a scheduled task.

Every day at 04:00, I run SpySweeper to clean out viruses and spyware.

Every day at 05:00, I reindex my intranet search index (via SWISH-E).

Every day at 06:00, I restart my computer (Gray).Ĭ:\WINDOWS\system32\shutdown.exe -r -f -m \\gray.

Every month on the 15th, I defrag my hard disk.

If Apple would fix the few things that are wrong with the Finder (by adopting what is good about Windows Explorer), then OS X would be nearly perfect.

I run Parallels (version 5160) on my MacBook to run OS X and Windows applications side by side. When I leave Parallels running overnight, it tends to develop a memory leak and complains about not having enough video memory, even though my MacBook is quote robust. I prefer to run Parallels in coherence mode with the OS X dock on the bottom of the screen and the Windows XP taskbar on the left So I generally use Parallels only to run the Windows applications that I prefer over their OS X counterparts. This is used by, for example, OpenOffice.
