I must be doing something wrong, because I don't hate this. And this is coming from someone using the Mac since 1985ish or so. Like I said, I'll try harder to hate on it more as that seems to be the cool thing to do.
But i agree you must be doing something wrong.
I've also switched between PC/DOS to Mac to DOS to OS/2 to Mac to Linux to Windows back to Mac to Linux and now back to Mac. My media server here is run on Linux. I'm pretty agnostic when it comes to computers, it just so happens that at this point in time I'm using a Mac as my daily driver.
