Mac OS X Hall of Shame (part 1)

  • Artikel

Pierre Igot has posted has posted a Mac OS X Hall of Shame at AppleLust.com. I note this not to revel in the joy of a competitor’s product getting some criticism (no, really, I’m not), but because for many things that he listed, you could replace “Mac OS X” with “Windows” and be reading the Windows XP Hall of Shame.

I have to say – looking through Pierre Igot’s posts on AppleLust.com and those on his blog, I impressed by both his dedication to his platform of choice, and his clear, honest, and in-depth posts about his experiences. Nice work.

And, I’ve thought that Windows should include a solid system-wide dictionary (for spell-checkers) for since I was a beta tester on Chicago.

Looking forward to part 2.

    I'm glad you mentioned that. I was just thinking that earlier today (even before I saw the Hall of Shame). I don't really want to start a "religious" discussion here, but there certainly is something about the Mac that makes people more forgiving. My theories: the crispness of the UI (driven by the double-buffering), the attention to detail in many areas, and the aesthetics of the hardware.

    It certainly is unfortunate that some people are unable to hold a sensible discussion of the pros and cons of each platform without it turning into a slanging match.

    I run four OSs (sp?) Linux (Fedora), OSX (10.3), various windows flavours and BeOS (in VPC 2004). I tend to use them for different things, but I have likes and dislikes about all of them (albeit most of the BeOS ones are that it died so young).

    I've no doubt that each OS has plenty of things that it can learn from the others, but it's just unfortunate the Microsoft products 'just aren't cool' no matter how cool that actually are. It's a pity that the perceived problem with Microsoft affect the real coolness of some of their apps.
