Most of your issues are addressed not true issues, but complaints from you about how OS X is not Windows. * no reasonable way to write to a CD (!) * installation of apps can be confusing to people not familiar with macs * disk volumes (dmg files) can be confusing to people not familiar with macs * not clear whether installing a virus checker and/or firewall is important to people not familiar with macs These are all just complaints about how OS X is not Windows. All can be done in OS X quite simply if you learn how to use it. I can understand that you may prefer the Windows way of doing things over the OS X way, but to count your unfamiliarity with a different operating system as a list of issues is not terribly useful.
