I really don't get it. Right now I've got a quad core box running 10.6 with all the unix stuff I'd ever need (yay bash and darwin ports), with eclipse open, playing itunes and a full screened virtualized instance of XP running on a separate virtual desktop.

Aside from playing games, what's not to like?

oh, you mean hate...

It's not the OS, its what it represents (meaning apple). Personally I like the OS.

It's not so much not liking OS X as it is hating Apple. Hating Apple is the trendy thing to do on boards like this.

reason 1. it's cool to hate apple. reason 2. Windows people don't like change and adapting to OSX takes time. I installed it on my Hackintosh and got comfortable with it in a week or so. Now I'm 50/50, I like a lot about both and I hate a lot about both. My next computer might very well be a 27" iMac running Boot Camp.

I don't hate OSX. I hate Steve Jobs and am very reluctant to give him any money.

Because an OSX computer is overpriced compared to it's Windows equivalent.

There's a lot of reasons I don't like Apple, but for just OSX it's mainly the expense with it not being better than windows.

I don't hate OSX or Apple, but I honestly enjoy using Win7 over OSX.

I don't hate Apple at all, and use OSX at work and at home. In fact, right now I have nothing running Windows.

I don't hate OSX and I run Linux on my computers. I dislike Apple because it is overhyped and overpriced. Plus the fanboys drive me nuts.

I think there's a few annoying things. For example, not having a simple right-click on the touchpad of the MBP. Not being able to cut-paste or create folders as easily as windows.

I just switched to a MBP and love it but there's a few things that are very annoying.

You definitely have a right click with a MBP trackpad. You just have to enable it in the trackpad settings.
