I'm not gonna lie I've never tried a mac, nor have actually even seen one, until now. I decided I would pirate it, and run it on a virtual machine that way I can see if I like it or not, and well because I was running it on a virtual machine it ended up running slow (I use 1GB of RAM, cause I only have 2GB of DDR2 RAM), and I gotta say it was hard to get a feel of it at first, cause of the GUI, and how the finderbar works, but once I got the feel of it, it's actually a really nice OS. Plus for thoughs that say you can't right click on a mac, their full of bull, but there's really no need to right click on it anyway.
Not to mention I love the GUI, the way the drop shadows are, how everything is put together, and installing software is easy as riding a bike. Plus I had no idea that spotlight did math equations as well. I absolutely loved trying it, but because I'm using it illegally I decided to remove it simply because I wanted to not only give the OS a try, but some of the Mac software a try like GarageBand, and iMovie. However I couldn't run the update on the virtual machine, cause each time I had to reboot I got some weird error (I didn't take a screenshot of it, sorry) So I simply stuck with the software that came with, and some that I downloaded, and tried.
Some of the apps I tried were
Pixelmator, which is a really nice image editor, however I still prefer
The Gimp. I also gave
Neo Office a try, which is a great free alternative to Microsoft Office, and I gave
CSSEdit a try
Snippet,
iPaint, and
TextWrangler.
