Just to keep the hate nice and focused on topic, Safari, on gf's, dad's, and brother's iBooks beachballs to a half when I try to run it with more than 2 or 3 tabs.

Ohgodyes. I suspect Safari was partially responsible for my experiences of OS 10.4 on a Mini being less stable than XP on the laptop sitting next to it. Safari appeared to consistently take twice as much RAM as Firefox despite the latter running three times as many tabs. That, along with Dashboard widgets just consuming insane quantities of memory. WebCore has a lot to answer for. I realise that conventional wisdom says MacOS needs more RAM than Windows, but it's getting to the point where someone seems to have mistaken it for an aspiration. -- Yoz
