"What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children - not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women - not merely peace in our time but peace for all time." -- JFK

Why task-switching is unbearable on the Mac....

Some developers are glad enough for unbroken features of the Mac that they put up with the rest.

Not many.

You more or less have to drink the kool-aid.

Those un-pre-disposed find insurmountable obstacles, task-switching in particular.

Why?

Because if developers started developing for OS X, Microsoft would snuff it. As long as OS X is just a music/photo/video platform for the rich, Bill is happy: give up a few points of market share as cover against charges of monopoly, and steal anything that catches attention.

But the user interface has to be focused on morons and boosters so very few independent develepers make software for it.
