[Chris Pirillo] 50 Reasons to Switch from Microsoft Windows to Apple’s Mac OS X: The mac is supposed to be THE editing machine for professionals and granted i understand why, but any normal users doesnt care about that, we want something that works easy. Moreover, the number of software available or otherwise the choices you have for any task you might want to do on the computer is MUCH MUCH bigger on windows than on a MAC(dont tell me about the unix stuff, if you forget the terminal as a terminal and just want something specific then run ubuntu on vmware in windows, i mean you have the money to get a much faster machine anyway so you dont really mind well i dont - also terminal=advanced use most users dont need it).

[Keith’s Tech Blog] Living with Leopard: In particular, I’d like to see windows ”˜float’ into view front when they gain input focus, animated window zooming effects, animated dock icon for commonly performed actions (sending/receiving mail, iCal alarms, Time Machine backups, Safari downloads, etc.), page turning effects in Preview, Safari and elsewhere, Finder windows visible ”˜growing’ or ”˜shrinking’ toolbar icons and sidebar whenever the toolbar button is clicked, subtly animated desktop backgrounds (I wouldn’t mind having Time Machine as my desktop background!), plus the reinstatement of the old Front Row entry and exit animations (why ever did they take these out?!)
