Anti-aliasing is the removal of artifacts caused by displaying an image on a low-resolution bitmapped display. Introducing artifacts is a bug. If it wasn't a bug, why did it bother you so much? And why do you think it's reasonable to complain about it on R-help, but not to complain about it to Apple, who are clearly responsible for it?
