Hi,
I'm not what you'd call a prolific poster so therefore it is unlikely anyone would have noticed 
I've been absent from here for a bit ... It is all because my lovely wife gave me a Macbook Pro for Xmas...
I can honestly say that not since the Amiga have I been so happy with a pc , maybe it's just because I've never used an Apple before so it's just the newness of it all but I love the operating system!
I've been bitching for years about how long my Windows Dell laptop or my home made Windows PC takes to boot up but -aside from my amigas- I have now found boot up bliss... in a matter of seconds I'm staring at my desktop... and shutting down actually works.. first go!
I'm just left wondering what could have been if Amiga had not gone the way it did... I think it would be very similar now to my Macbook!
...Let the trolling begin :laughing:
I share your experience; I spent a large portion of my computer experience in the wilderness of Microsoft feeling largely unsatisfied. After progressing from windows 2000 to XP then in awe of the system resource consumption of Vista to the slightly more nimble Windows 7. Windows 7 is well able to meet all my productivity needs well enough, but when I decided to try achieving the same on my Mac setup it surpassed my expectations on exactly the same hardware specs. To say MacOSX is a faster more efficient OS than Windows 7 is an understatement and the software is more polished and intuitive that it speeds up tasks improving my productivity far more than what I achieved on Windows 7.
I also enjoy the boot up time, I enjoy the fact that like AmigaOS4.1 as soon as the desktop appears with dock bar the OS is ready for you to begin work you aren't left starring at a desktop waiting for drivers to finish loading or gadgets to be loaded and updated. I also enjoy the speed at which applications launch and the overall responsiveness of the operating system in comparison as I mentioned before on the exact same hardware I was running my Windows 7 setup!
I too after using MacOSX Snow Leopard along side my Pegasos 2 running both AmigaOS4.1 and MorphOS 2.7 and my classic Amiga 1200 running AmigaOS 3.9 am left noticing the similarities in appearance and feel to Amiga, and the vast differences. For me I find MacOSX beautiful and flexible enough to meet an average everyday users needs that I don't find the need to customise it a whole lot more than a nice background, but I would like however to be able to change the colour of my mouse pointer but apart from that there is no complaints here.
I too think if Commodore were more responsible and AmigaOS was better funded and developed on good hardware with todays creative developers on the likes of Microsoft and Apple platforms AmigaOS would look, feel and perform a lot like MacOSX, but with the more unique Amiga edge and take on things.
