I went on and wrote a review about MacOSX 10.0.4 a month ago, but it was never finished as I had to fly to France for my own wedding. I came back and MacOSX 10.1 had been released. I scrapped completely the old text, as 10.1 brings some more speed and new features to the system, and restarted writting the review from scratch.

I love the comments from the Apple fans. If only you channeled your energies into creating a better system instead of going berzerk when someone "insults" your operating system. I was an avid Macintosh user in the early 90's and then I got my hands on a NeXT box. All of these "innovative" thing that you claim to be so wonderful about OSX existed in the NeXT (save things like DVD that did not exist, but the UNIX kernel, the multitasking, Objective-C, etc). OSX appears to be nothing more than NeXT Step ported to the PowerPC and with a prettier interface (not to be mistaken for "more useful"), it uses gobs of memory and CPU, just like Microsoft and Linux, and from what I've seen provides poor performance and a clumsy user interface. Not that the Microsoft side has much of an argument, and I'm not about to support them, but after working with both products I can say that I think the both suck equally; I just hold Apple to a higher standard, at least in terms of user interface. Don't be fooled, the only "intuitive" interface is the nipple (look up the word "intuitve"). I think the review was fair and I'm interested in hearing arguments that are based on facts or quantitive figures (GOMS model analysis, etc). Those of you who choose to banter fanatically are seen just as that.
