A few weeks ago, Ars published part one in a series called "From Win32 to Cocoa: a Windows user's conversion to Mac OS X". In this series, Peter Bright details why he believes "Windows is dying, Windows applications suck, and Microsoft is too blinkered to fix any of it". Part one dealt with the history of both Windows and the Mac OS, and part two deals with .Net, the different types of programmers, and Windows Vista.

I am not saying that Windows is not a truly horrid mess, but Apple also lacks perfection.
Unless you have only just started using OSX you would notice that Apple have consistently broken their own user interface guidelines over time and they also support some pretty vile event driven legacy APIs - They even write key components like iTunes and the Finder using them. And Why does QuickTime seem like its own world?
And what is going on with Java?
It seems less than perfect on either side of the fence.
Maybe the grass is just always greener on the other side.
