the complaints in the beginning about theme and style are accurate, but there is a good reason for those things: backwards compatibility. Those control panel applets still exist because of COM interoperability with other things. Those deep-down dialogs that still use WinForms are there because some feature that MS is supporting relies on the library that produces that dialog to be present and unchanged for compatibility reasons. Apple DGAF about backwards compatibility, which definitely has advantages when it comes to keeping things up to date, but I'd like to see someone on Apple run a game or application released for OS9. I can run games released for Windows 95 all day long, and they run well. Those hard corners in Windows are there for good reasons. They're ugly, they give a bad impression, and the customers who rely on them are extremely grateful for them.
