In my house today, all of the computers are Macs. This is a long way away from three and a half year ago, when I said that Jaguar could not replace my PC. We're chugging along happily running Tiger, just as productive as before, and enjoying every bit of eye candy. But OS X isn't always cherry pie, it's got its own set of faults, and some can be downright annoying. UPDATED

OS X does not require those Windows-esque "quick launch" agents because of this Application versus Application Window metaphor. Applications such as the System Preferences, which make no sense to remain open when the last window is closed, do quit after the last window is closed. Although this may irk you coming from a Microsoft background, it is the desired behavior for most long-time OS X users.
Please do not confuse "broken" with personal taste.
