Dated and Problematic - Crazy Dave

Do you seriously think Snow Leopard will re-introduce all the fantastic features Apple previously removed from the OS with the introduction of OS X? So far, every time Apple has promised something in regard to OS X, it's either not there or it's lobotomised to the point of lunacy. For example, Leopard introduced network-enabled Spotlight but it ONLY works with other Macs running Leopard, it still can't search Windows or Linux shares. COMPLETELY USELESS. I'm just trying to imaging how bad Snow Leopard will actually be once released, but it will no doubt be a hundred times worse than I can possibly imagine.

Apple couldn't care less about fixing the Finder, they just want more market share so they can sell more iCrap. Application Enhancer tries to turn my Mac back into a Mac. If only AE could add a Find File option, I could start using my Mac full-time again, rather than having to go back to Windows to do basic things like finding files on network servers (that the completely useless Spotlight can't find).

The worst thing about all this, is that features like WindowShade and other stuff could so easily be added to OS X by Apple. Insanity have to hack the OS and reverse-engineer it, but Apple aren't hindered by that problem. The simple fact is, Apple don't care about their users anymore. If you think Snow Leopard will fix everything, prepare to be disappointed.
