Funny thats EXCACTLY how I feel when "using" Linux. But since this is Slashdot, that makes me a troll.

It's not. It took me about 15 minutes to work out how to get my CD back out of the "screen" on our office iMac when I put it in there once.
How do you do it in Windows? Okay, now try the same thing on the Mac. Amazing, isn't it?

And I hope that I am not the only one out there.

You're not the only one. I've hated macs for a long time now, although not purely on their software alone. I think if it wasn't for all the mac zealots out there, I would probably think macos okay, but the batshit mac users drive me up the walls. For all the "advice" the mac users want to give us Linux folk on how to improve and draw more users, you'd think they'd take some of their own and not drive people away by being shallow screaming morons.
