That day is coming sooner than you might think. That is good news because it will be another reason I'll be able to switch to Linux. I do want to buy an iPod Touch now that it can exist independently of a computer. It just doesn't seem right that my $255.00 HP desktop with a free OS runs faster than an $1150.00 Mac Book. Often the scrolling freezes for a moment. On my Mac Book as I scroll at that same speed I mostly see icons in place of the thumbnail images. On the Ubuntu machine I can scroll down a page of photos and nearly all of them appear instantly as I do it. My Mac Book has a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo with 2 GB RAM. I have a 2.3 GHz AMD LE 1300 Sempron with 2 GB RAM and it is running things faster than Leopard OS X using 10.5.8. It is too bad that the OS X software is getting so specialized that it won't work on some older machines, yet Linux distros work great on older machines and make them blazing fast. Is communicating with another proprietary IM system needed? That's more stuff. Is an app store really needed? Why not just continue to acquire programs the same way as before? This adds another layer of stuff to the OS. I suppose it all depends on the point of view of the user. It isn't a lightning fast OS compared to some Linux distributions. Is OS X Lion bloated? On another forum I visit we were discussing different Linux distributions and some more experienced Mac users think the Mac software is becoming a bit bloated.
