Tired of waiting while your PC slowly scours its hard drive for a document you stashed somewhere six months ago?
Takes all of 1 second using locate.

Sick of having to change how you work to conform with the computer's rigid way of organizing files?
No, not really. I can make them do pretty much whatever I want using ln.

Bored with the flat look of the desktop's graphics? Between the alpha transperency and transparent menus of KDE and GNOME, live desktop backgrounds (think using your screensaver as a desktop), vector based icons, and gdesklets which allow me to add things like realtime system information and collapsable email applets to my desktop, I would say that Linux has me pretty much covered.

Bring back MFS!

That's something else that was weird on the original Mac -- MFS ("Macintosh Filing System", replaced by HFS, "Hierarchical Filing System") had 524 bytes per block, instead of 512. Never have read an explanation for that one...

Spotlight only searches for files on the local computer, not networked hard drives or remote shared folders. .....

The author really doesn't really have a clue how computers work. If your machine had to index the universe, it would be kinda' busy.
