This behaviour seems to be comparable to Linux, not that I'm expecting OSX to be anything like Linux. All I want from a Mac is for it to be better & more productive than Windows.

Macs are predominantly marketed at dumb asses with lots of money, most things are so completely locked down that you either use it their way or don't use it at all (iMovie, iTunes, Garageband, iWeb, safari etc), but once you get passed all that crap you'll be fine.

75% of people will hate you (irritating)......other Mac users treat you like a close relative (even more irritating).

I suppose I can live with this side of things as its mainly Windows as an OS that's really bugging me.

I use mine in the studio, for live performance and recording, disco's and I've just used it to capture a camera feed on a video shoot, its never had the slightest problem.
All good to know thanks for your input dazzathedrummer
