First off at the risk of starting a huge debate I have to say that Windows computers have a greater problem with desktop sprawl than Mac systems. The big reason? Because just about every Windows application you install automatically leaves a shortcut on your desktop even if you don’t want it. Install something like Microsoft ffice and you’ve just added Word utlook Excel and PowerPoint to your clutter. It’s something that people who switch from Windows to Macs often find weird that after you install an application on a Mac its icon isn’t then staring you in the face for the rest of time. If you’ve ever explored the START menu on your Windows computer however you already know that it’s darn easy to find and launch any application that’s installed on your computer. Simply move down to All Programs on the menu and you’re just a mouse drag away from everything on the system. Heck this is one area where Windows is actually easier than the Mac where apps are found by going to the Finder opening up the Applications folder and then rummaging around for the desired utility or program.
