Compare the kernels? You mean the fact that they are the same type of kernel? Because that's all I compared, and I'm right. The implementation wasn't the issue. Both are monolithic/microkernel hybrids. That's the only comparison I made. You can find it as funny as you want, doesn't make it incorrect.And sorry you are just totally wrong comparing OS X's kernel to NT's.
Agreed on all counts. I'm a minimalist. Fact is, iTunes uses more memory than Foobar or Winamp in Windows even using the mini player. It's bloated but people love it because it's pretty. I don't need pretty in my applications, I need speed and efficiency.I have to agree with Nemo, iTunes is the biggest piece of crap I've ever used. Not only is it slow, but it's so in your face. "Hey guys! Look at me! I'm iTunes....guys?"
Winamp is the best media manager I've used. It's easy to use and doesn't have to take up your entire screen to use effectively.
Quite frankly everyone knows that Windows is the mans operating system, and OsX is for little sissy girls.![]()
Virtual desktops is such a gimmicky feature the way most people I know use it. They don't even use them effectively in Linux, which had them LONG before Apple did, but I digress to the topic of feature flattery (copying)...All not true. Itunes not slow on a mac, could be on a PC, does not take up the entire screen to use effectively. If you wanted to use full screen you throw it onto another desktop. Oh I forgot windoze does not have virtual desktops built in
Screen shots on a 13in laptop screen. Note it does not take over the whole screen and I can access all features.

Want even less than use the mini player.

Throw it on another desktop? Hmm... how is switching desktops different than maximize/minimize in Windows? Oh, I know, it's something not in Windows so it's worth bragging about. Gotcha. Like I said, ineffective use of virtual desktops. How is Ctrl+1/2/3... or Ctrl+up/down/left/right different than Alt+Tab and Alt+Shift+Tab?
Mini player, bloated trash in Windows. Are there any other media playing options in Mac OS? I wouldn't know, since Macs have only been worth talking about once Apple adopted the x86 architecture and ditched Motorola/IBM. Congrats Mac fans, you're just getting closer and closer to being Wintel PCs...
Screenshots mean nothing, you need to see it on the actual screen. On my 30" HP LCD @ 2560x1600 I could put 6 of those GUIs and they would be perfectly readable with room to spare. That says nothing about how they are (to my eyes) on your 13" screen with its native res.
For the record, I'm no MS fanboy. I don't like either company or either product. I just find it ridiculously amusing when people talk about Apple products as if they are the next coming of Jesus in technological form. Steve Jobs could probably start his own religion ala L Ron Hubbard and he'd have plenty of sheeple to drink his Koolaid.
