Apple Software engineer Satoshi Nakajima, the lead architect of Microsoft's Windows 95, picked up a Mac for the first time two years ago. He was so impressed, he says he'll never again touch a PC again. Satoshi loves Apple products so much, he started a company in April, Big Canvas, to develop for Apple's iPhone platform full-time. "We have chosen iPhone as the platform to release our first product (for) several reasons," explains his company's website. "We love Apple products... You need love to be creative."

Operating systems are way more than the technical aspect. Geeks are quick to call something crap while ignoring a good GUI, and quick to praise something that only a geek would know how to use.

I dare call the taskbar they introduced if not an innovation, at least a improvement! A quite important one. Now people had a visual way to see what windows they had open when they had many. (Multi-tasking where about to really really become multitasking.)

Take Ubuntu. It's easy to use, but probably quite far from the best Linux-distro from a technical point of view. Despite that, I think it's way better than most distros simply because it's easier to use.

Apple should copy the Windows taskbar. at least there should be text on the dock so that you can read what the icons are for. More text and smaller icons=I can find things faster.
