IMHO
Mac OS9 with the PowerPC processor was a good solid OS. The OS was user-centric, meaning that it would respond to the user keyboard and mouse immediately. Once Mac went to Intel and OS X, I really do not see much advantage any longer. I still use Mac because of all the software I have, but it is almost as computer-centric as Windows now.
I think the Mac still has a better priority system. I can let my windows laptop sit for a while and when I touch the mouse, the HDD lights up and I have to wait a moment for the machine to respond. And what is with that flashlight? Cannot Windows remember what was in that folder I looked at five minutes ago?
My Mac server works pretty well because I have three disk drives. One for the OS, one for the Home folder and a RAID 10 for music, movies and databases. If I had a Windows desktop, I would try the same with it. Windows is VERY HDD dependent, Mac is more efficient at using RAM rather than constant HDD access. There is a night and day difference in doubling the RAM on a Mac in contrast to Windows.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
