Actually, I kind of like Photoshop. It's the most solid, capable application I've ever used. I also figure OS X will be just about OS perfection in 10.5 (or whenever all libraries are converted to 64-bit).

I like Photoshop, too. But there's no denying that it crashes a fair bit -- particularly when memory is tight and/or you're working with very large images.

OSX? OS perfection?!? Oh, puh-lease. What-ever.

There speaks a boy who has only used it on Windows...

Some of us believe the OS should not intrude on the pleasure of computing... and certainly not to displace it. We also believe it should empower our productivity, not impede it!

Not for me, it's rock solid even on XP, even with high-res poster-size images. I've only had problems on Windows 9x.

It's far, far ahead of XP for sure. Recently someone tried to emulate the Exposé feature of OS X on Windows and it was a kluged memory and processor hog. Why is it bad? Windows doesn't have the necessary underlying architecture to pull off something like that. Same with the pseudo-transparency of windows. Other technical features abound.

Aside from that, the user interface from a usability point of view is far better, and yes I did study "Human Computer Interaction" including interface designs in college. MS does some of the most horrendous stuff.

Bush, you want to see Windows perfection? They just came out with a patch to the most recent MDAC buffer overflow exploit. This patch can kill the ability to login on that computer! There's a nice, long process that involves having your original Windows CD to recover from this.

If anyone gets hit by this, write me and I'll give the procedure to get you running again.
