Earlier this month, AnandTech ran a review of OS-X from the point-of-view of an avid PC user. It was a very interesting read, and I recommend it. OS-X has some very nice features that blow past the stereotypes of MacOS and puts it squarely in the running for Modern OS.
One of the things that caught my attention is application integration. It seems you can drag any icon into your current application and it'll import it automatically. Or attach it to your e-mail. Or move any image from the browser to whatever. Neat stuff.
This morning I had a bit of an "ah-hah!" moment. I was attempting to move a Word document into an e-mail and it wasn't working the way I had expected it to. You see, GroupWise has a rather nifty feature in it that is very OS-Xy. You take the application icon on your title-bar (the far-left picture that identifies the app you are in) and drag it into your e-mail. It'll then attach that document into your e-mail. Very slick, and was what I was attempting to do with Word/Outlook. Didn't work. GroupWise has had this feature since at least the GW5.5 era, possibly earlier.
Neat stuff.
