We're certainly not done yet with Snow Leopard on OSNews! The operating system will be officially released tomorrow, but that hasn't stopped various news outlets from cranking out reviews of Apple's latest big cat. As usual, the reviews are fairly consistent: this latest release is the best yet. In addition, very welcome news for Tiger users: the Snow Leopard "upgrade" disk can upgrade Tiger installations too, and performs no checks to see if Leopard is installed.

I read the thread and I found your suggestions interesting and would love to see those, but none other OS X user I've met decided that OS X was so bad they needed to use either Windows 98 or Ubuntu to "get things done". You only have a 6-month OS X experience, that means you have yet to explore the whole OS experience. I took me more than two years to fully unleash it.
I don't know what "work you can't get done" under OSX, I have never seen an OS less intrusive. I have a small company, I code under Windows XP/Vista/7 using Visual Studio. I maintain three linux servers and use a Mac Pro for daily work (VMWare/Parallels for windows work). I haven't felt the reason to move back to Windows 98 (?) nor Linux.
Again, I think you have too much previous OS experience and don't want to relearn what your new OS offers you. OS X is not for everyone, but I come from a Windows world and I found a way to discover OS X (I started in Jaguar go figure). I lived thorough horrible Samba support, PPC, slow finder hangs, etc., however, the whole OS X experience has been superior to anything Windows ever offered me.
Go back to windows 98, and make sure you use 98SE, else you won't be able to use your USB devices.
Skip Windows Millenium, it had lots of bugs.
