What is it about Apple Computer that everything this company has done in the past ten years seems to be for the sole purpose of pissing me off

clearly you're showing your true intelligence by claiming you know more than %99 of mac users. I'm sure you're a highly paid IT executive who attends a lot of conferences, or wait, maybe you're a greasy tech who the only box he's getting is a unix one. either way, you're a retard. by thinking you can get things done easier in windows than say a mac, is obviously a subjective opinion, and can be highly debated. people who bother ranting about operating systems and whose is better or faster are all the same, whether they be mac users or windows users. they just come across as being immature morons. im sure you drive the only car worth driving.
Clearly you're showing your true intelligence by demonstrating the same uninformed trash-talking zealotry that snark_hunter was talking about. Thinking you can get things done in Windows *or* Mac OS better as opposed to the other is highly subjective, and all depends on what you are used to. There is enough software to get your work done on any modern system. You can run every important program on Windows or Linux that you can for the Mac, and then some. So if someone's happy running BSD or Linux or Mac OS or Be or TI Extended Basic, my god, who are you to tell them they're doing things all wrong and they need some other computer

Lock? Sorry to pick on details, but the tweaks you can do to make Windows look and act like Linux or Mac OS are third-party hacks, not flexibility offered by Microsoft... I'll admit Linux has the flexibility seemingly built in, but that is more an artifact of the fact that most distributions include far more tools in their "default" install than any for-pay operating system even tries to. Unfortunately, your argument breaks down when it comes to apple -- while they may not include facilities for changing looks and behvaior by default, there are plenty of utilities for both OS 9 and OS X available from third parties that let you do exactly that -- an identical situation to that in Windows.
All I was saying was that Gnome and KDE are configurable by default, as they offer many different utilities that make that possible in most *nix distributions. And Windows' UI utilities are third-party kludges to be sure, but then again, programs such as 98lite and LiteStep allow you to completely change Windows' window manager, and thus window behaviors and layouts and shortcuts and stuff. I admit that there must be theme managers for OS X, but Cocoa/Aqua are so tied into the system, could you rip out Finder.app like you could explorer.exe and replace it with Gnome or KDE or fvwm? I don't think so. All I am saying is that it's this configurability that make power users go for *nix or Windows. I'm not trying to talk trash about the Mac. I love my Mac and hope my next computer will be another Mac. Then again, I have grown used to the Mac way of doing things. All I wanted to say to the great-grandparent up there is that not everybody needs to or even should.
