One poster did comment..

"enjoy the single button mouse"

I hate he single button mouse.. I use a USB Logitech Trackman Wheel

The single button mouse is stupid, plain and simple.

how many fingers do you have on your hand.. go take a look right now!? One? not unless you're a retired wood shop teacher ;-)

despite what Apple's Human Interface fancy schmancy 400+ page tome of a justification says.

A multi-button mouse is more efficient. Heck give me keyboard shortcuts.. (yes I'm a recovering GNU Emacs user) so I never have to move my hands from the keyboard.

BTW Where is my decent voice recognition? Mac OS and Mac OS X have had a primitive form of this for years. You can surf the web and command your browser to scroll up down, back, forwards etc: with just your voice.

This stuff should be improved on.. I want fluid dictation why have to type at all???

The one other b**ch about Mac OS X?

If you a WinDOHs! Alt-Tab freak.. this one will annoy you to no end. (read on)

Yes you can Alt-Tab to your hearts content on Mac OS X, but what if you've iconized an application/hid it in the Mac OS X Dock?

All the Alt-Tabbing in the world wont bring it up, without moving your hands from the keyboard.

WTF? Steve Jobs.. R U Listening? :-)

Probably not.. it was Woz that was more into the VW Bus thing I think?

I think there is a productivity app called 'Quicksilver' that you can use to enable this, but I'm not sure a colleague of mine ever got it working satisfactorially.

Those are my *only* two complaints/areas that I feel Windows / Micro$haft has it over Mac OS X.

BTW Did you see that M$loth is working on buying Yahoo? Interesting..
