Software for the Mac Switcher

Navigation, navigation, navigation. My MacBook Pro continues to inspire me just looking at that incredible screen, its sleek silhouette, yada yada yada. But if you can’t get around in your computer, you’ll get incredibly frustrated really fast. I’ve previously linked to a very useful compendium of keyboard shortcuts for the Mac. Now, here’s a list (from July 2006 so a little dated) of small-footprint software you’ll need to replicate your Windows environment. There are other programs, in addition to the one’s on that list, you may want to consider: For an FTP client, I use CyberDuck, a free app, in place of Transmit. I also use LaunchBar ($) in place of Quicksilver (free) as a substitute for the excellent Activewords which, sadly, has no exact Mac equivalent. And I haven’t settled on Parallels or VMWare Fusion to run Windows on the Mac.
