Of course I am. Don’t you know by now? ;)

Windows STILL can’t properly change files while in use.

Well, this is probaby a good idea. You don’t want to delete any crucial files currently in use, now, would you? The real problem here is that neither Windows, nor OSX, can tell you which application is using the file in question.

In Windows and Linux, drag and drop is hit or miss.

Mmmm, never have any problems to that respect in GNOME or Windows. Do you have any examples?

Windows installation, startup, and uninstall processes are still nightmarish compared to OS X, even if you use AppDelete or somesuch.

Application installation on Windows and OS X both suck. On Windows because you still need installers, and on OS X because dragging an application to the trash does not in fact delete every trace of the file. On top of that, when something uses an installer on OS X, you cannot uninstall it at all!

Until I can use drag and drop to install/remove applications, without it littering the filesystem with crap, then I’m happy. BeOS actually can do this fairly well.

Resizing the boot partition is something a very small fraction of a percent of people need to do.

Most computers ship with only one hard disk, and it’s good practice to use two partition. So, in my case it was to accomodate OS 9, but what about people wanting to create a seperate /data partition? They cannot do this in OS X, but they have been able to do so for ages on Windows - Partition Magic or Partition Logic can easily resize Windows boot partitions, and have had that ability for years. And in Vista, this has become OS functionality.

On OS X, not even third party utitilities can do this.

But yes, of course I’m making an elephant out of a mosquito (or the English variant, a mountain out of a molehill).

I have to say, I think you’re being a little dramatic here. Every OS has its limitations. Windows STILL can’t properly change files while in use. In OS X, you can actually DELETE a file while it’s in use (you can’t empty the trash, but you can delete it). In Windows and Linux, drag and drop is hit or miss. Windows installation, startup, and uninstall processes are still nightmarish compared to OS X, even if you use AppDelete or somesuch. Resizing the boot partition is something a very small fraction of a percent of people need to do. I often want to rename files I’m using (like pictures or MP3 files), which I think is common, not exactly “exotic”, but apparently “His Billness” didn’t envision this - Windows still chokes on this basic task. I’m just saying: everything has its ups and downs.

Up until Vista - which, I’d remind you, is regarded by most as a complete bomb - you couldn’t resize partitions properly if they were “basic” instead of “dynamic.” This capability is still fairly new, and Tiger is going on 2 years old.

BTW, check out Sheepshaver. You can use classic apps without booting into OS 9.
