I think Mac OSX should

I think Mac OSX should modify the HFS+ file system when it becomes corrupt or the data is deleted it's a nightmare to put right.

I moved from DOS to Mac. I

Regarding the list of 15 things I found some things are doable but not part of OS X.

14. Widgets Can't Be Placed on the Desktop. -- http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050422172929402&query=widget+desktop

10. Accessing Applications. - DragThing a great solution.

8. Printer Setup. - couldn't be easier (than Windows) especially with Bonjour. Recently upgraded to a Brother MFC, Brother's software & OSX did all necessary connections so all I ever did was Cmd-P.

5. Managing Finder's Columns View - all his points are also my pet peeve!

2. Finder's Hobbled Cut Command. - he is correct about that, but try one-step duplicate a Windows file (its copy/paste)

A readers complaint:
2. Renaming Isn't Easy. - just click once on file and hit the Return key!

My gripes about iTunes - no bookmarks!! and no customization/notes fields
