Recently changed from Window (at home), NetBSD (at work) to using OsX. Both new systems are Mac Pro with OsX.

I'd say that OsX is better than Windows, however, it isn't perfect either. It has tiny things, that would be trivial to fix, which would make it the first OS to not have annoying things.


  • When Moving/Copying a file (say, a new app into /Applications) the directory view/list needs to re-center to show the new entry. Currently, depending on your current view, it might just disappear, and you have to scroll to find it.
  • The "are you sure" requester for overwriting, is in a fixed position, generally far away from where I was doing the drag'n'drop command, which means a lot of mouse moving. They could have it pop up closer to the action.
  • Software Updates, will just pop up at any time and steal your input. I had been writing an email for 10 minutes, and mid-sentence popped up. You can probably change it to other time, but as a default, I believe it should wait until the machine is idle for 2-3 minutes before interrupting.
