Mac OS X 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.

>Files or other objects have to be moved or copied to a drive location not the computer location. The focus manager of MacOS 10.1 does not recognize a drag gesture in an application unless it is the active application. Wether this is a bug or not is more a matter of opinion than code. I just want to add that while MacOS X has a ways to go before it is "windows killer", I do think that it is a huge improvement over the Classic Mac OS, and is able to compete for users that are not locked into Microsoft proprietary software. Additionally, I agree with most points made in the article especially in regards to the over doing of certain elements of the GUI. I do, however, disagree with is where you stated that Windows XP has more "advanced (and easy to use) networking features". While I have never used Windows XP I do not see how it could have more advanced networking features since the vast majority of all networking standards have been derived on UNIX systems, and MacOS X with slight (source code) modifications can run any piece of UNIX software. Granted Windows XP could have easier to use tools, but I do not see how they could be more complete. Additionally in regards to using XFS and BFS as filesystems. You could use them if you really wanted to since the core of the OS is Open Source, you'd just have to port them. Not for the average user, but if you really need there is nothing saying you can't do it (I could be wrong, but I don't think that Windows supports either XFS or BFS out of the box either). Same goes for alternative window servers and managers.
