After over 20 years in MS (from DOS to Windows) I finally moved to the Mac side - more to experience the beauty of the interface and learn new things, than a move of allegiance. I too was surprised to find cut&paste was 'new' to OSX. Coming from MS, ctrl-x ctrl-v is second nature and ctrl-drag shift-drag third nature - nothing to with being old! The change in finger-mouse operations will be a challenge to learn but then I did make the move from walking to bicycle - eventually! Stop the war OSX "power users" - the computer is for all, no matter if you are window or apple shaped. Vive la différence!! What an entertaining thread!

I'm a developer and love using the mouse. What you mean is "my friends don't use the mouse". News for you, the world is bigger than your group of friends.

After 20 years using Windows I was finally persuaded by friends and family to buy a Mac. I wish I hadn't. Finder is primitive compared to Windows Explorer. What is the point of a computer if you can't use it to manage your files simply? Glad to have found this thread which has shown me that I’m not so stupid after all.

Hold cmd-shift while dragging the file to the new location and it's deleted from the original location after copying. this new cut & paste feature also works when dragging files.

And people who only know the MAC OS can be QUITE opinionated in a very uninformed and inexperienced way. It seems to me that people who know how to use both MAC and Windows prefer the Windows OS.

Instead of commenting in a relevant manner about the new feature, like it or not, all you people do is sit around and insult reach other. Pathetic. Are any of you capable of expressing an opinion about a computer OS's features without having to insult others who have posted? A truly unbelievable thread!

Mac OS X hinders users at doing things their way… Using the OS I should be free to choose whether I want to use the mouse or the keyboard. You obviously have never heard of the fact that there are ways to measure an UI's performance (google GOMS). Every time I have to switch between the mouse and the keyboard I f*cking loose time at doing so. I prefer the Mac before Windows in almost every way. The thing I don't like is being tied and not being given the freedom to choose the way I want to work. You obviously have no idea what the OP has been complaining about.
