Meh, I’ve had this thing in draft for months, and I just can’t be bothered to clean it up or finish it, so here it is in its unedited state, things that have annoyed me about Os X thusfar:

- When you’re in Preview and you scroll to the bottom of a page, read, and then click on the next page you automatically go to the bottom of that page. It’s the NEXT page, go to the top you stupid thing.
- What do you do more, open folders or rename folders? Right, so make it ‘Enter’ opens a folder please.
- Navigating folders. Say you want to change your desktop background, you’ll see the list of folders in the left pane and the piccies in the right one. Nice, but I have subfolders in my Pictures folder, why can’t I see those in my right pane? No, I have to click on choose folder and navigate to it. So that’s a file dialog window inside a file dialog window. Rubbish.
- Moving folders. Replace trashes the contents of the old folder instead of merging the contents like any proper OS does, like Linux or oh… Windows.
- Profile management. It’s useless for me basically. Network settings aren’t stored in the profile so if I switch between my work and private profile it’ll do me little good because I’ll have to change the network settings, proxy and other bits around every time.
- speaking of proxy settings… lamest implementation on any os I’ve ever encountered. There are so many apps which totally disregard it (for whatever reason) that there are literally tons of apps I can’t use on the macbook at work because we use a proxy there.
- When I select x mails I’d like to see how many mails I’ve selected.
- You can only set how often new mail should be checked for all accounts, not per account.
- Importing mail. What good is an importer if I have to install the program first… just let me point to the profile folder and do your job.
- Flash cpu usage. 50% cpu load watching a YouTube movie?!
- Bulky GUI. I’m not farsighted. Even on my 1680×1050 screen it feels like I’m looking at 1024×768. Linux is looking so much better these days, whether it’s KDE, Gnome or Enlightenment.
- Quicktime. You need a $30 license for basic functionality that comes standard on both Linux and Windows.
- Bullshit apps: “Headdress is a very well designed little app that’s perfect if you’re requirements for a web server are relatively simple.” No, that’s $13.95 for being a dumb fuck who can’t launch Apache which is BUILT IN to Os X fer crying out loud. And there’s SO many of these kind of apps it’s pathetic. And they’re all shareware!
