Being that I am new to OS X, having purchased my first MBP last week, where might I find a forum that is as active as NBR but for the OS X software and not the laptop hardware?
I have just a few issues I want to solve with OS X before I fully commit to owning and staying with an Apple computer.
WebDAV so I can share files with my iOS devices (semi-solved, no SSL yet)

Docking windows to the side of the screen like Windows 7 (solved, third party)

I personally hate that feature and am glad I don't have to disable it like I do on Windows... but I do know people who love it.
I know someone who uses this... I'm not sure if there is a totally free program that does this anywhere.

It's a godsend when trying to work with multiple code windows or terminal windows. Resizing each to be side by side manually is a chore when you do it countless times during an 8 hour period. -

Glad to see there are at least some third-party options for window management equivalent to Win 7's snap feature. I love that feature, and I've often wished that OSX had an equivalent.

The nice thing about the program I linked to is that you can snap with a hotkey and can divide windows among four corners instead of just having them side by side.

I have installed Better Touch Tool for Mac which is a very good piece of free software and I've tried the Snap feature which can be handy but again that automatic snapping and resizing just gets in the way and I end up turning of BTT. I think Windows fans like this feature because Windows hasn't offered much "new" in functionality in years. There's plenty enough great features in OS X that I don't need to add any hinderance to my workflow. -
