I would not say it is like Jessica Alba. Catherine Zeta Jones- as it is gorgeous as well as graceful. A woman all men find pretty is one thing- but a woman another woman finds beautiful is truly special. Same thing with an OS.

AOL9 installs a spyware scanner, a computer check up program and a search bar/quick launch in the task bar about 1/3rd of their launch bar was for actual window buttons my least favorite part is the system tray the part of the task bar where the clock is every program feels the need to install a control widget down there imagine if Apple opened up the API for the menu bar programs and everything you install feels the need to place something there and imagine it wasn't easy to remove, having to navigate a myriad of arcane pmenus or dialogs OR even worse having to launch the program and finding where they hid it IF they even made it an option Furthermore XPSP2 didn't seem to have a native driver for the GeForce MX 2 card in their Dell. So I installed the driver and got smooth scrolling goodness. But the driver install installed something into the system tray! I used my brother’s XP machine a few times this weekend
such such horrors
the biggest downside 256MB of ram
which means that IE loading itself at boot is bad enough
but they use AOL and AOL9 loads itself at boot as well
and seemingly every single program installed feels the need to put itself into the system tray down by the clock
I know seriously
even with the nice strict file structure OS X tries to make you use there’s so much more freedom
like only n00bs download directly to the desktop
but that seems standard on Windows
ALSO!
