Hi folks!

Here's mal a big question: Is there anything what is really wrong in OS X? I know about 20-30 operating systems, and I must say, MacOS X is the perfect operating system. But is that true? What do you not like in MacOS X? I mean really annyoing stuff, not only things which are more problems switching from one OS to another. For example, my main problem was it for long that PDF-Files weren't shown in the browser, always in the external viewer. This is not a problem of MacOS at all, it's a problem from Firefox. In Leopard now I don't like the blue lights to show an active program, I would prefer the black triangles like in Tiger. But that's also a typical change-OS-version-problem. Which really heavy problems does MacOS have?

I have to perfectly agree about your statement in an other post: Once a Mac User, always a Mac User.

I have also worked with many different Linux Distributions and ofcourse Windows in the past, and I have
to agree: Mac OS X is by far the best one.

I think that OS X is the most powerful, because it uses the lightweight yet very powerful Linux Kernel for its basement,
and on top of that, which is missing about Linux, there's a perfectly designed GUI.

When I first used a Mac, I was also amazed by the simplicity of installing an Application, for example.

I am very pleased with Mac OS X, especially with Leopard.
I totally enjoy it, so far there hasn't been a single thing that annoyed me: kind of the opposite to Windows Frustration :)

Since OSX86 is reality, I love my PC again.

the only thing i dont like on mac osx is the lack of good emulation programs :| like wine for linux, i mean sure there is darwine but it's impossible to compare it with wine(i really need an emulation program because my ISP has an @#$% application tot prevent IP stealing, unfortunately those narrow mind basters made the app only for windows)

Instead of Darwine try Crossover for this: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
It even support Games. Look at a screenshot of my system, it shows the various types of programs running in OS X:

For a pefect Windows VM use Parallels: http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/
This pic is a demo of Parallels using the Coherence mode. Notice the 2nd Mac menubar? It's the taskbar of Windows!

i tried crossover it gives me an error, i think x11 is the problem, anyway thanks ill try it again in rev 2 i saw zeph added the x11 fix.

P.S whats the problem with funpic.de ? it says that i don't have the right to view the page or something like that (403 error)

I have no problems opening the pics, neither in Firefox nor in Safari. But this is still my Tiger system.

Funpic doesn't allow Hotlinking, it's not really nice... :P

Naquaada get some nice Space instead of Funpic, m8 :)

thanks Puttabong :D

Someone Compiled the newest Wine platform for Darwine.
It works great, at least on my computer, I havent run into a Windows program yet that I cant run
through Darwine. And Its Free.

Heres a link.

Just thought Id pass it along, because the official Darwine page uses a really old version of WINE.

i managed to make my internet connection work with crossover i will test darwine later :) thanks

Mac is so perfect hard to find what i dislike
I think i dislike the fact installing a program is stupid
It's like drag & drop, i want a program to install the program

Hit, that's one of the major osx essences, simplicity. :D
Not only the design, also the workflow.

Don't you love to drag a drop a program which takes a few seconds, rather than getting annoyed by an Installer for minutes?
: )

I dsiskliked some little things in the new Leopard style, like the blue lamps in the Dock and so on, but I found progs that cured all thse problems. Only the creation of thumbails if you open a picture drawer seems to be slower.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't OSX actually based on a BSD unix rather than linux, or at least thats what I'd thought for sometime, and infact what wikipedia claims.

Still, it is very nice though from my dabbling on parents macs they've bought recently.

I don't like that it isn't quite so easy to compile and install things as it is with linux, but then, there are a lot more apps available for osx with similar functionality to windows ones than there are for linux, so rock <-me->hard place, at least for that part anyway.

Only thing that bugs me is safari fullsreen looks odd to me, although i am use to using xp,vista..

OSX is awesome! Though it may not be for everyone. My BIGGEST dislike is that it can only legally installed on APPLE branded hardware and no support for regular PCs. It could also use a little bit more mainstream software. I am hoping APPLE would release a version of Leopard for the white box PC supporting at least the most popular hardware. No more fiddling with kext and bootloaders or whatever. They probably have a bigger OS marketshare than actually being reported now anyway. With so many people trying to get their PC to work as hackintoshes. Well they did make a transition from PPC to x86. I am sure when the time is right they will make the move to the mainstream PC hardware users. APPLE already has a bunch of people working on getting it to work on regular PCs for FREE. All they need to do is brush up some rough work.
