Slow user interface
I've been using OSX for about two years now. I manage a network of 20+ macs with a combination of Mac and Linux servers. At work I have a Quad core Mac Pro with 8 gigs of ram running Leopard. My home machine is an amd dual core with 4 gigs of ram running Vista.
My home machine feels SIGNIFICANTLY faster than my Mac Pro at work. From rendering HTML to launching programs to building software in Eclipse. Everything is faster on the windows box.
I don't believe that it is a question of hardware. I think the article has it right when it speaks of slow Apple API's. Windows XP running in Vmware on a Mac Pro is "snappier" than the native OS.
I'm far from being a "windows fanboi". I work with many operating systems everyday, and tend to prefer Linux for serious work.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
