A lot of his complaints are Windows-specific, but some are general, like the filesystem thing, or application-specific "computer classes". Edit: Well, since you edited yours... Yeah, a lot of the problems go away when you get away from the PC world, or from Windows. And some, like the error message thing, are by design: if a more descriptive error would actually help you, you probably know how to look in the log file to find it. But no platform is perfect. I've had Macs do ridiculous things (like only keep a Firewire drive mounted for about ten minutes until I have to replug it), and even though the state of the art has come a long way, computers still aren't perfectly usable by people who don't understand them. But, I mean, neither is anything else.
