paulmoscow Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Hi, I'm using my MacOS installation for a week on ASRock P4Dual-915GL with P4 SSE3. The system is quite stable and fast, but below is a list of some things I miss: 1. Hibernation 2. VPN 3. Thumbnail view in Finder windows and a fast picture viewer similar to the one built-in to XP 4. Full-fledged Outlook instead of Entourage Anyone has something to add?

'purchase' office 2004 or if your using an exchange server you can use owa... 5. ReiserFS support 6. this is an obvious one... QE support on my gfx card.

Not sure about hibernation support in OSX, but I don't remember seing it back when I used to use macs daily. 2. Should work... I think. Try google on this one. 3. Don't think this will work on OSX. 4. Entourage sucks, I agree... and for Outlook you could try using Wine on MacOS X, though I don't know if it will work. Mail and iCal are way better than Outlook though, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrana Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Well, there is no full Outlook client for OS X unless you have a real PPC Mac and run Outlook 2000 (I think that was the version) in classic. It had normal Exchange support. Office 2004 and all still need IMAP and all that, so no scheduling and all. What is wrong with preview.app?

cauldron Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 The last Outlook/Mac version was 2001, and yes it requires Classic. It would still be usable (on PPC Macs) except that it lacks HTML mail support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmoscow Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 What is wrong with preview.app? Up/down arrows (for a previous/next picture) are not enabled. In Windows XP you can easily preview all graphics files in the current folder. As for hibernation, I'm very surprised Apple still didn't copy a feature Microsoft introduced 6 years ago in Windows 2000. Or is it related to OS architecture?

cyrana Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Ahh ok, thanks. I was just curious. I use both OS every day, guess I was just used to things on each side feel. I suppose I sorta leave iPhoto open most of the time. hehe Well, on a real Mac, thing seem to suspend or whatever fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamoul Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I think that for a wish list, the very first thing is to make some video drivers, at least to be able to change the screen resolution and refresh rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesown Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 My wish list: - Better support for SSE2 processors(complete emulation of all instructions) - Driver for Sound Blaster Audigy 2 (emu10k1) - Driver for Nvidia cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stelriah Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 you can get a thumbnail preview go to finder and go to View>Show View Options or press apple J. Then turn on show icon preview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentford9 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Granted it's a dead topic, but all except hibernation are possible. You can set up VPN connections in the Internet Connect properties, all you do is click New VPN Connection and specify the type, RRAS server, and so on. And he already said how to change the thumbnail view, and as for Outlook just install Office through Darwine. Hibernation however, seems to have plauged everyone, some with minimal success, others not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
