Re: 20 Reasons why vista $ucks!!
Arya, I have been seeing the mac since the days of the Mac II. 'nuff zed.
It may be true that the Mac probably has the best user experience of all OS's, but only because all Macs are esentially the same. And also only when seen through the eyes of a person that refuses to accept the weaknesses of the platform and to accept that others are better at the very things the Mac claims to do best.
On the other hand, every single PC running either Linux or Windows is different
simply because the owner or primary user has the ability and the capacity to change his or her system to their own liking. That simple fact entails a learning curve from machine to machine, something Mac users probably would not understand or be capable of.
Show me a Mac where you can do that. Show me a Mac where the owner does not have to work according to Jobs' liking, where the user can tweak the interface to bear not even the slightest resemblance to the original OS.
My dislike for the Mac is not based on my choosing to do so. It is based on the fact that I had, on an OS that prides itself on being media-centric, to go back to "yucky" Windows to get a job done right that the Mac prides itself on, but was not capable of.

It is not perfect. It is not for the person who likes to tinker with the OS too much.
Going by your previous diatribes, this would seem to be heresy to the whole philosophy of the Mac, where you are different only in that you are all so similar.
And show me OSX running on the variety of hardware configurations that Windows and Linux are capable of, and even half as successfully, and then talk of the weaknesses of either as compared to OSX, either in appearance or function.
You are talking out of the most closed and monopolistic platform in the history of computing.
