Fair enough. I don't consider myself a "mac expert" in any case.
I've only been using OSX since October. Before that, I hadn't used the Mac OS since... 2000? And it was OS9 maybe.
On the whole, I find OSX to be prettier than Windows XP. But that's probably just because I'm a girl.
My main beef with the Mac OS is that clicking the "x" doesn't usually quit a program, like Windows does. So I sometimes end up with tons of programs open, and wondering why Andromeda (my iBook) is being so slow.
Which is another beef, Andromeda is not even a year old, and she had a RAM upgrade, and she STILL chokes on Tiger.:(
Oh, I forgot to point out, in relation to my previous comment... Buttons on the About window are never blue until you actually click on them. (I did say "most" not "all" windows.) I admit that may cause some confusion. But it's still obvious that the Software Update window isn't in focus.
*shrug* As an everyday user of OSX (Tiger, which doesn't matter in this context)... It was easy for me to tell which window had focus.
It's was the About window because, at least on my iBook, when the Software Update window has focus, the "ok" button is blue. Since it's non-colored, it's obviously out-of-focus.
Most of my popup dialog boxes in OSX work that way. Buttons are blue when that window is in focus, clear when it's not.
Not fucked up when you know how to read the signs;)
