<p>Everyone raves about OS X Leopard, but I personally like XP better. I actually even prefer Vista to OS X, if you can believe that. I just hate the way OS X treats its users like little kids who need animations to understand what exactly happened when they double clicked on an icon. But I guess that for people who need to buy Apple to avoid the virus issue, this kind of treatment is warranted. Really, how dumb do you have to be to download an executable or a zip and then run it, especially without virus checking it first? The last time I remember having a serious virus issue was on Windows 98 about 10-ish years ago.
And for those wondering, I’ve used the new OS X Leopard on my friend’s computer, but it failed to impress me. I did not like the dock, I found the finder annoying and non-intuitive, and I hated the fact that every single time my pointer moved off-screen, either all windows would minimize, or the computer would go to screensaver mode. Safari was way crappier than IE…don’t know why my friend still hasn’t downloaded Firefox or Opera. I didn’t get a chance to run any memory-consuming software on her computer, so I don’t know how the Leopard works with that, but I used OS X Tiger on the iMac extensively last summer while working at a design camp. It froze more than once daily while running Photoshop and InDesign simultaneously, which it’s supposedly designed specifically for. Even my crappy school computers that run on Windows 2000 didn’t freeze on Photoshop and InDesign that often.
In short, I don’t understand why people rave about the OS X, and it seems I never will.</p>
