As a programmer (as I was) you often know about the internal state of aspects of the application when it's running. One of the things that annoys me still and is sadly very prevalent in a lot of software, is that the application knows something, but doesn't tell you. Another one from Apple is when syncing an iPod: "There are items on your iPod which are not present on your Mac. Transfer them or lose them?" I always think "What are they? Tell me!!". I wonder if they've fixed that? There are many, many more examples, and of course not all from Apple, but it sounds as though at least one of the annoying ones from the OS has been removed at last.
