An interesting article has been making its way around the internet the past few days, titled "Top 10 Usability Highs Of Mac OS". Mac OS X indeed does some things very, very right, just like many other operating systems and graphical environments do some things very, very right. The issue with the list of the article in question is that many of the items on the list are not exactly examples of "Usability Highs" at all.

Apple has done a lot of good things.
Leopard has finally fixed a lot of the GUI inconsistencies and I'm glad for that. Had the person been using 10.3 or 10.4, I'm not sure he would have come to the same conclusion.
I love the image of the Firefox installation. That has baffled so many users and many of them dropped the image to be installed into the Dock, instead of following the relatively clear illustration in the window background.
I'm just glad that there are so many GUIs available at this time and that they can all contribute ideas on how to be more productive. I still appreciate the original Mac OS keyboard shortcuts so that cut, copy, paste, print, save, and open were all easy and consistent and continue to work to this day.
