A long time Mac veteran has written an open letter to Steve Jobs, criticizing Mac OS X. His main points are:
  • Installation of Panther takes 3 days
  • Defective RAM isn't detected by the Installer
  • Optimization phase during installations takes too long
  • System updates can't be reversed. Only way to go back is to wipe the disk which means loss of user data.
  • Millions of libraries are too confusing
  • Fast user switching makes a well-known third party audio program crash.
  • Something with customising audio-hardware
  • No way to save configurations of Audio MIDI Setup
  • Problems with USB audio hardware, especially after sleep
  • Firewire drives with Oxford 911 chips don't work
  • Windows can only be dragged by grabbing their top
  • Files can't contain slashed and question marks
  • Copying "_Icon" files sometimes hangs
  • "Optimizing" should also "fix permissions"
