Ok, I'll bite. How many steps are required to map/mount a Windows share on a Mac OX.. desktop? Now how many are required to map/mount the same share on a Windows' desktop, and could you explain to what makes the makes Mac OX.. system easier and better to work with? Legacy apps running under classic, virtual Mac, mode run "better" than applications on PCs with Windows??? Again, I beg to differ.
"Connect to Server" from Finder, select machine, enter username/password. Or "mount_smbfs" from the command line, very useful for working remotely. Next?
I note that another freeper has already listed the simple steps required to map a network PC drive to the Mac desktop on OS X... I would add one last step to his: make an alias of the mapped drive and leave it on the desktop to make it a one-step connection or no step if an application needs it on another session.
I am afraid you are mis-reading what I wrote... What legacy app did I state ran better under classic than an app under a PC with Windows? Are you, perhaps, refering to my comment that MS Office X is a superior implementation to the XP implementation? MS Office X IS not a "legacy application," it is completely "carbonized" (although not completely "cocoa"ized), and it runs as an OS X application with no need for "classic mode."
As a matter of fact, Macintosh legacy applications DO run faster and load faster under the OS X "classic emulation" than they do under a native OS 9 on the same computer.
