This is going into a "it does -- it does not!" type of argument. Simple, dumb fact is that it did work. 4.1 did work. Sure there are bugs. But then, all software has bugs. Safari crashes three times a day on my powerbook, and the dock locks up regularly, too.

OSX works -- I can do the part of my work I'm supposed to do with it, with the occasional curse. KDE 4.2 locks up significantly less, crashes significantly less, and I am able to do the part of my job that needs Linux using it.

That simply means that, no matter how often you say "doesn't work", that it does work.

(And khtml rocks and still has got some important features that webkit hasn't, and this is someone speaking who builds a qt/webkit based application for his dayjob.)
