Title: Just got my Macbook Pro and I have questions!
Post by: TakingBackSunday on July 25, 2008, 01:32:36 AM: What are some essential programs that I should download? I already have VM Fusion, Unarchiver, Visualhub, but I'm not sure what else I should grab.

Post by: CurseoftheGods on July 25, 2008, 05:54:15 AM: Vista is one of the worst, most bloated operating systems I have ever used. What clunky piece of shit. Go for XP if you're going to use Boot Camp. I used a 10 GB partition for it (to play PSO mostly), and it's been more than enough.

Download Caffeine, BrandNew. Very useful for those long YouTube sessions.

Post by: bork on July 25, 2008, 06:30:50 AM: Haha yeah, the first thing I did when I got my MacBook was to get Windows XP over Vista. I find that I barely use Boot Camp much anyway...currently have 40gb allotted to it and am thinking about deleting it and starting over with 10-15gb instead.

Is adium better than iChat? I quite like iChat right now. I have Caffeine too, but thanks.

Post by: FlameOfCallandor on July 25, 2008, 02:22:33 PM: Vista sucks so bad. I rarely ever use my laptop because its so slow.
Title: Re: Just got my Macbook Pro and I have questions!
Post by: Smooth Groove on July 25, 2008, 02:30:31 PM: I love 64bit Vista. The interface is lovely and internet speed is way faster than XP. If not for gaming compatibility, I wouldn't even keep XP around.

you fail at basic driver maintenance and/or windows update, get off the internet

Post by: Vyer on July 25, 2008, 11:33:34 PM: i'm going to build a PC this year I'd like to put Vista on but I don't want to waste my time.

there's probably an over/under on whether or not Vista will be dead by two years. Even ms wants to move on.

i don't want Windows ME!

Post by: Van Cruncheon on July 26, 2008, 12:36:41 AM: ms ain't movin' on from vista any time soon

you can trust me on this

Post by: recursivelyenumerable on July 26, 2008, 12:47:43 AM: tell your bosses to fucking forcefeed everyone .NET 3.5 so we can use it in our apps without making people go download a 200MB installer.
Title: Re: Just got my Macbook Pro and I have questions!
Post by: TakingBackSunday on July 26, 2008, 10:13:12 AM: Well you know, I might try out Vista. I have XP right now, but I actually have a genuine copy of Vista right next to me, so I don't know.

Post by: CurseoftheGods on July 26, 2008, 07:36:05 PM: Be sure to install Boot Camp 2.1 before you do so.

Post by: Laramie on July 30, 2008, 04:10:17 PM: Is there a good torrent client for OSX? I've been using Azureus Vuze for a week and the moments I've spent with it have been worse than the year I spent with Vista on a machine with 1 gig of RAM. Please tell me there's something of uTorrent quality out there for macfags.
Title: Re: Just got my Macbook Pro and I have questions!
Post by: TakingBackSunday on July 30, 2008, 05:42:32 PM: Have you tried out Transmission? It's basically the Mac-equivalent of uTorrent.
