Windows.. it's like coming home! 3388

Yes. But the G5 desktops were not so bad, and they were making money hand over fist, no?

I can understand why they'd transition anyway- better to do it now than when they are in real financial trouble after all- but why rush it?

Do you feel this was all planned as one exercise? I thought they had been trying to make a go of PPC-OS X, and that's why the G5 happened.

I don't see that; it's essetnially a PPC app that contains a 68k emulator. The big thing they'd need to do is port or rewrite that emulator for Intel; running emulators on emulators is bad juju.

I do not propose they would have an Intel port of the OS 9 OS running withing; that would be emulated.

Yes, that is a difference. But there is a preference in the desktop search options to turnt his behavior off; then it will index immediately.

So if you don't agree with MS's decision to pause indexing when the system is busy, you can change it.

Maybe it should be, but it isn't.

Yes; and it comes up more quickly that the Finder; also just having any old Finder window isn't enough, you need to then navigate to the right place.

And if there were any Finder windows open, then clicking the icon brings *them* up, and I may not want to navigate away from where I was in the window that comes to the front.

It's this last thing that really prevents me front using the Finder as a launcher.

Ya. Bigger icons.
