Hi, I think you should keep in mind this is a list pretty much designed to get help when things go wrong. :). That being said, your likely to hear the uglier side of peoples experiences. After all, If everything worked as advertised there would be little use for such a list. Generally speaking, I find Apple to not linger in correcting significant bugs. Accessibility related or otherwise. So. Applications. I've been using a Mac for 2 years and this is the first time I had a buggy experience with Safari. Facebook kinda sucks on the Mac in my opinion though. I don't find to be that great on windows but I do think Jaws and windows handles the site a little better. Remember, I'm just talking about the main Facebook site. The word processing apps that Apple makes Text edit, which comes with the Mac and Pages, which you pay for as a part of the iWork productivity suite, will get the job done for most users. The Mail app works well. I guess it would be the equivalent to outlook in this case. Their have been minor bugs. None have personally plagued my Mac but, from what I could remember they didn't cripple the program. They were more an annoyance than anything. Someone pleas correct me if I'm mistaken. I don't use iChat which seems to be on the Frits at the moment but the program called adium. Its free and works quite well for my instant messaging needs.
