There seem to be lots of settings that appear to be different from what I expect. Since what I expect is a windows experience I wonder if I should be changing these. At least if I document them I can reverse the decision later.
System Preferences
Security
General
- Defaults to no password and auto-login.
- Check the "Require password to wake this computer"
- Check the "Disable automatic login"
Firewall
- Defaults to "Allow all incoming connections". Very bad.
- Switch to "Allow only essential services".
Keyboard & Mouse
Keyboard
Use all F1, F2, etc as function keys
- Defaults to disabled because you always need to
adjust your screen brightness? Silly people.
Trackpad
Use two fingers to scroll
- Enable this so you don't have to move the mouse to
the scroll arrows
Allow horizontal scrolling
- Enable the horizontal while you are about it.
Not as useful but nice when it's needed.
Clicking
- Enable this so that you don't have to move your
fingers so far to click something,
Dragging
- Dragging windows with the mouse is easy and
only requires one finger.
- Drag lock appears to be enabled whether the checkbox is
checked or not.
Tab trachpad using two fingers for secondary click
- Defaults off but is a better way to get the context menu than
holding down ctrl and clicking.
Keyboard Shortcuts
Full Keyboard Access
- Defaults to "Text boxes and lists only" instead of "All controls".
Mac's hate the keyboard.
Accounts
- Unlock the properties and select "Name and password"
so hackers can't see a list of usernames.
