A Former Windows User Reveals His Favorite Mac Software
This is my personal list of apps every new mac user should download.
Note these choices are geared towards former Windows users who have now switched to the Mac, so as an example I have included a virtual machine in the list, which allows me to run Windows software side-by-side with the new Mac-only applications.
There are of course personal choices, and will probably not be similar to the choices of other avid Mac users out there.
Now on to the software.
1. Parallels Desktop, which allows you to run Windows side-by-side with OS-X.
2. Yummy FTP After evaluating multiple FTP programs for the Mac, this emerged as the winner for me.
3. Typinator. This is a simple application that helps you to quickly type phrases or insert pictures in documents.
4. Taco HTML Editor. Taco HTML Edit may not have the most numerous or amazing features, but it gets the job done - well.
5. Skype. This software enables you to make calls cheaply to anyone worldwide.
6. Skitch. Skitch is the Internet Camera for anyone that wants or needs to capture on-screen content. Saving, annotating and sharing images has never been easier.
7. RapidWeaver. This is a powerful web design application for Mac OS X that enables the WYSIWYG-like creation of websites. The best way to understand this software is to download and tryout the demo.
8. Marsedit Desktop blogging software which I use to update all my blogs online.
9. Mail. Apple provides an email client called Mail, which I have setup to retrieve all my Google mail via IMAP.
10. Jotter. A nifty note taker.
11. FireFox. The next generation web browser for the Mac.
12. iPhotos. Provided on my MacBookPro, I use this to automatically organize and edit my photo library.
That's my list. Look out for updates, as I discover other software in my Mac journey online.
