The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Recent Switcher Missing Windows features

Asked by kirkdickinson in Mac OS X, Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard)

Tags: missing, windows, switcher

I have had my new and first Mac for about 2 months now. I really like it but I find myself really missing a couple of things that are in Windows.

The very first thing that I miss and I keep trying to do it over and over and over is to be able to resize a window from any edge. I really miss that. It seems unintuitive to only be able to resize from just the one corner.

The other think I really miss is the file warning when you try to copy a file over another file. For instance if there are two files named red.gif and you move a second one into the same directory, OSX will ask you if you wish to replace this file, but it doesn't give you enough information to make the decision. In Windows, it will say something like:
"do you wish to replace red.gif 12 KB 10-10-2007 with red.gif 18KB 12-14-2007 ?"

In OSX I have to open two finder windows and compare the files manually before overwriting. In XP, the dialog gives me the information that I need.

I don't mean to be a complainer, but this is a feature that I really miss. I realize that it won't be added just because of me, but I would like to know how other switchers and oldtimers have worked around these two issues.

Thanks,

Kirk
