Microsoft sold 60 million copies of Windows Vista since late January 2007. The vast majority of these went on new computers because of the higher hardware requirements for Vista. If Mac grew it's more likely because of the increased availability of DSL, thanks to AT&T. Sorry you loss. I don't appear to be the one in denial here. (Boy, have I made a mistake with this post and I'm even digging myself in deeper. Help, Mr. Wizard).
Hey Everyone, I am just trying to boost my knowledge of the Mac OS with some of the advanced built technoogies. My goal is eventually be able to be as proficent with the Mac OS as I am with Windows, so I could potentially support both platforms if I needed to.
So my primary question is what is the Mac equivalent of the Registry. I know Mac doesn't have anything close to the registry, so what I am trying to ask is how does the OS handle things done in the Registry in Windows. And also how does self contained files work, such as Applications that don't have a set directory such as Program Files in Windows. Thanks a lot and more questions to follow.
