Let's all thank the nice guys at Toys for Bob, who gave their work to the open source community, including all graphics and sound files.
Also thanks to the people who ported the old code to our lovely, modern operating systems. They also did a great job at choosing the best features from the PC and 3DO versions.
Of course, there are. But they are mostly minor annoyances and few compared to linux/windows. Here are some:
- No support for graphic tablets in GIMP (at least I couldn't figure it out)
- The Finder doesn't have a 'cut' action, only copy & paste.
- It's sometimes hard to remove packges which were installed using an installer application
- The Finder hangs for a couple of seconds when trying to preview an avi which it can't play (But I'm shure you can change this)
- OS Upgrades are expensive if you're used to linux
- no native GTK port, only the X11 one
These are just some random examples. There are many more, but IMO it's still the least annoying OS.

but its installed base is so large that it is really hard to convince people to switch.

What about ducks? We are talking about Mickey, not Donald!

And now download this great game!

Oh, really?
Shouldn't it be "Cry me an iRiver"?
This is definitely an interesting point. I read the license and I'm still not sure when the use is considered to be commercial.
There's probably some more info at the creative commons site. Most Creative Commons licenses seem to be quite restrictive for my taste.
No.
Or just use Preview.app's File->Grab.
Well, that would be quite an improvement!

An easy solution would be not to allow new patents. The existing patents won't be valid forever.
You can retrieve your mails with POP without removing them from the server, so you can still collect your mails.
If you want real MS style integration, then you'll have to include it in the kernel!
Who will get the money I pay when one of my mails is rejected? I think this is a rather important question.
One 6 inch screen is as big as four 3 inch screen, so this is probably not the right comparison.
