OSX to Windows XP
voidmain:
I would venture to say that on the surface OSX is more dumbed down than Windows (as in easier to use for the n00b). But underneath you have the "expert mode" of UNIX where you have control, unlike anything Windows has ever come close to providing.
Calum:
it's a fine line between dumb users and a dumb OS, isn't it? if MacOS is so "dumb" as it has been postulated, then why do people with the least computing knowledge find it easiest to get things done on a Mac?
Surely a "dumb" OS would be hardest?

Well you can bet those three blank keys found on every Win* machine (that used to read CTRL, ALT, and DEL) never get used in combination...
psyjax:
I think there is a big difference betweened dumbed down and well designed. The MacOS and especially OSX are incredibly well designed. You don't have to dig to far to get to UNIX in OS X (just open the terminal), but the point is, you don't have to if you don't want to.
That's not dumbed down, it's just logical. Isn't that the main goal behind KDE and GNOME?
No reason to be so eletis, just because it has pictures dosn't make it stupid. In the end, it maintains all of the necissary functionality and then some.
