The quality they mention about Apple software is that they are beautiful. Well to its answers I would say that Apple has only a few hardware to support and so it can work on other aspects like UI. But on the other hand it is not possible for Apple guys to support such a large audience of hardware. But here if we contrast with windows its clearly a winner for hardware support plus looks combined. Windows is the OS of the world.

1) Finder (Mac’s equiv of Windows Explorer) won’t cut and paste files/folders. Instead you must drag and drop files/folders in order to move them.

2) There is no merging of folders in Finder as well (i.e. you can’t just combine contents of two folders by dragging one folder on top of the other).

3) Can only resize windows at the bottom right corner.

4) No “minimize all programs” equiv like “Show Desktop” button in Windows. Must use Expose and Spaces to keep things organized.

5) Numbers won’t find/replace only the contents in a highlighted column like in Excel.

6) Need 3rd party software to write to NTFS format. Awkward if you must share a network with a Windows computer like I have to at home (for marital reasons

7) Time Machine makes you select what you don’t want to back up. I’d rather just select what I *do* want to backup.

Some of this is nitpicky, I know. And I know there are work arounds to some or all of these issues, but it certainly would be nice if as a Windows user I didn’t have to rethink everything. Sometimes, I definitely have to ADD steps to get the same thing done in SL as I do in Win7.

Well, it definitely generates a lot of comments. Good move!
