yea, and make SMB slightly less broken - that was the killer feature."
Hundred dollars for a damn point release. Bah. MS would have called it a
service pack and given it away.
By the time 10.4 rolled around, the stupid machine had already died anyway.
I slightly started to move to Mac OS X with 10.4 and made the full move
with 10.5. I don't think I could have made the full move until 10.5.
I feel like OSX (and Mac's hardware) got almost everything right. It makes
you more productive, even if you are a developer.
Every single thing about it either got in my way or slowed me down (And
that's when it was actually working right.) The mouse (every single one
Apple's ever made - I quickly replaced the nearly-useless Apple mouse with a
Microsoft one), the sluggish mouse acceleration no matter how you tweaked it
(need a mousepad the size of Rhode Island),
The Apple mouses has always been a joke. I started with Mac OS X on a
laptop, if you then mostly use the track pad it's not as bad. When I
made the full move to Mac OS X I continued to use my logitech mouse.
windows that can't figure out
where the dock is and decide to partially hide behind it, the dock which
conflates running apps with non-running ones (opps, that's right: there's a
*teeny* *tiny* little...uhh...triangle to show you the difference),
every
view offered in finder (they were all awful and barely-usable, even the one
I was initally very excited about),
I've replaced Finder with PathFinder:

But then, in version 6, they made the tabs and some other parts of the
UI blue and that annoys the hell out of me :(
